[01:08] venzil: you can use rdesktop to use RDP [01:08] UnderSampled: you probably started a KDE app on the same terminal earlier so kbuildsycoca outputs to that terminal [01:08] venzil: you want VNC [01:08] hiku, whatever's default [01:08] UnderSampled: I should fix it so it doesn't output needless debugging by default [01:08] cromag: what do you mean "care?" [01:08] Adriannom: async tells the client that it has written data to disk, when it's really lieing [01:08] venzil: or rpc [01:08] hi alol [01:08] Is someone going to help me.. [01:09] VNC is a protocol, and is a replacement for RDP, not a client [01:09] venzil: you can enable remote login on windows and login securely with RDP. VNC has no security [01:09] *all [01:09] mneptok: i want to be able to unplug the screen and still run x just as normal. [01:09] thune3, http://pastie.org/1116681 [01:09] Anyone... [01:09] venzil: rdp is wat i meant [01:09] Adriannom: if you don't like your system to hang, I would get away from nfs mounting your home dir and just use rsync to sync changes back to the central data server [01:09] i will use ssh but does the other computer need a program [01:09] WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO HELP ME [01:10] hello how do i uninstall a program? like complete remove so i can install it again and configure it [01:10] JoeTheGuest: have patience child, jeez [01:10] hiku, right. just so i know i'm on the right track. thanks a lot :) [01:10] JoeTheGuest: what? [01:10] I asked like 5min ago [01:10] No answer [01:10] JoeTheGuest: try #ubuntu-server if its a server thing [01:10] Riddell: cool. [01:10] Again no anser [01:10] !caps | JoeTheGuest [01:10] JoeTheGuest: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:10] Adriannom: that's how I have my engineering department setup and after 6 years, nothing major has happened "knock on wood" [01:10] JoeTheGuest: no answer often means "we dont know either" [01:10] JoeTheGuest: then wait longer, 5 mins is nothing at all [01:10] Adriannom: your welcome! [01:10] ubottu : lol [01:10] Its simple port issue I can't figure out [01:10] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [01:10] hiku, :D [01:10] JoeTheGuest: reboot the server [01:11] I did [01:11] why does uptime say three users logged in when I am the only one? [01:11] First thing I did [01:11] JoeTheGuest: i would *guess* you have a hung process listening on a port since it says WAIT [01:11] Iv tied different ports [01:11] Remade the conf [01:11] Rebooted [01:11] how do i uninstall a program? like complete remove so i can install it again and reconfigure it [01:11] Nothing fixes it [01:11] what room is for asterisk ? [01:11] JoeTheGuest: is the server on some hosted service out on the web? [01:11] venzil: the fastest way to connect and least hassle free is to use a VPN that way you do not have to worry about portforwards, and security. try logmein hamachi. It also depends which way you want the connection. Ubuntu to windows or the other way around. SSH is a big security risk if you do not set it up properly and its not easy to setup [01:12] BrixSat: apt-get remove "package" [01:12] The ports are still refusing connections [01:12] BrixSat: sudo apt-get remove "package" [01:12] ubottu : just thought you comment funny... and i do not use it on a regular basis. i quite enjoy refined language [01:12] foul_owl: I think that each terminal logs you in again [01:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:12] ActionParsnip: yes [01:12] JoeTheGuest: what's the issue? [01:12] BrixSat: sudo apt-get remove --purge program [01:12] will that kill the configuration files to ? [01:12] JoeTheGuest: contact the provider then [01:12] Ok [01:12] if i make a usb drive into a startup disk will it delete everythign else on the drive? [01:12] JoeTheGuest: and get some pattience [01:12] UnderSampled: bug 624348 filed [01:12] UnderSampled: That accounts for two of them, as I have one terminal open. But why three? It's driving me nuts [01:12] Riddell: cool [01:13] mneptok: did you have a thought or just currious ? :) [01:13] hello [01:13] foul_owl: do you have X running? [01:13] yes [01:13] !hello | windowxpuser [01:13] windowxpuser: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [01:13] i have x running with one instance of terminal running [01:13] hi [01:13] hello [01:14] razz1 : is there a new version of hamachi for *nix? or still stuck at 1.x? [01:14] mickster04: i have done the purge but when i install it i get no config files [01:14] I have an i7 with gtx 260. I'd like to use it from school with VNC. the problem is it uses too much power so I don't want to leave it ON the whole day. What can I do? [01:14] Agu10 : hi [01:14] i'm using debian live cd how to get the wireless going [01:14] where can i get the whole list of rooms ? do someone know ? Im searching for asterisk rooms [01:15] BrixSat: what are you installing? [01:15] Agu10: why are you connecting via vnc? What do you use the session for? [01:15] jsolera: /msg alis [01:15] jsolera: #asterisk [01:15] mickster04: freeradius [01:15] if i make a usb drive into a startup disk will it delete everythign else on the drive? [01:15] anyone .. has any idea [01:15] jsolera: go to #help [01:15] foul_owl: running the command "who" will show you what terminals are logged in as what users [01:15] windowxpuser: debian isn't supported here [01:15] jsolera: alis is a bot to search for channels [01:15] rotham, I believe it does. But it warns you. [01:15] ActionParsnip: I have programs at home that I want to access from school. For example for 3d rendering... [01:15] ok [01:15] WinstonSmith: no there is a new beta version, and it rocks. its command line only though but there is a very good readme file [01:15] thanks for help [01:15] thanks [01:16] BrixSat: humm... and why is that a problem anyway? [01:16] who shows tty7 (assuming x) and pts/0 (assuming gnome terminal) but uptime still says three users. is there a bug in uptime? [01:16] mickster04: i get no config files [01:16] can I leave my computer suspended until I want to start remote desktop? [01:16] or something like that? [01:16] adac: i'm not an expert in these things, i just was hoping that would give you further info. it is an sshd and not yours? [01:16] BrixSat: right so run the program, it will auto generate prolly [01:16] no [01:16] razz1 : which version ? cause i have since years running the same version which has timeout issues with the new logmein [01:17] mickster04: wont start due to lack of config :p [01:17] Agu10: i see, then vnc is for you, vnc has no security so I hope you are using an ssh tunnel [01:17] foul_owl: try running "users" to see just the list of users [01:17] Agu10, You can't come out of suspend remotely. On some computers though (with a wired nic) you can turn them on remotely using wake on lan (wol)! :) [01:17] ActionParsnip: I'm not. [01:17] BrixSat: check the -h command it may give you an optoin to generate the config [01:17] is this a good place to ask a question about problems connecting via samba/cifs to a windows vm? [01:17] edbian: how can I set that up? do most modern computers have this feature? [01:18] thune3, I found out something about my audio troubles. I can keep the PCM all the way up, and just turn off the LFE completely. I just don't get the subwoofer. But, bam, no audio quality degradation :D [01:18] just two of them, both me [01:18] i think there is a bug in uptime === Falcon500_ is now known as Falcon500 [01:18] thune3, well ps aux | grep ssh shows nothing. But still the ssh server is running. I noticed it because normally I run sshd on port 2222 then on one day it was not accessible anymore i realized it was accessibel over 22 again. [01:18] WinstonSmith: its ver 2, heres the link https://secure.logmein.com/US/labs/, you will be impressed [01:18] Agu10, Yes. Most modern computer do. Look in the bios for a WOL or Wake On Lan feature. (like I said only on wired nics) then use a program like etherwake to send a magic packet to that computer(s IP address). And the machine should turn on! :) It's very cool. [01:18] razz1 : THX man :D [01:18] adac: ps aux | grep sshd [01:18] thune3, so when i killthat strange process now, then also sshd dies. This must be a trojan [01:19] mickster04, is the same [01:19] edbian: also wake up from sleeping? [01:19] s aux | grep sshd [01:19] 1000 26825 0.0 0.2 1772 564 pts/2 S+ 02:19 0:00 grep sshd [01:19] Agu10, I don't think so. Just wake from off ;) [01:19] razz1 : cool ver 2.x [01:19] edbian: I just have to send that package (even through the internet) ? [01:19] Agu10, Like I said you cannot return from suspend remotely. Not that I know of. You can however from hibernation because that is essentially off to the hardware. [01:20] Agu10, Yes even through the internet. Packet. Not package ;) [01:20] Agu10, It's very simple. [01:20] (well then, I guess I'll ask) q: when trying to connect to a windows (vm) share I keep getting "permission denied" on the ubuntu side; i've tried via mount.cifs, smb4k and smbclient; the windows is vmed using virtualbox ose with a bridged network. no firewall is running. on the windows side i get: "Unknown user name or bad password" [01:20] edbian: well, when I push the "power on" button, it wakes up from sleeping. :P I'd intuitively say it should wake up instead if it's sleeping [01:21] iConfused: cool, glad you found something that is satisfactory [01:21] thune3, mickster04 additioanlly i cn't restart sshd anymore [01:21] Agu10, It's worth a shot. [01:21] adac: sudo service ssh restart [01:21] adac: use tab-complete to make sure you have the right service name [01:21] edbian: yeah. I'm gonna try it then. Thanks [01:21] Agu10, :) [01:21] mickster04, sudo service ssh restart [01:21] sshd: OpenSSH_3.9p1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu [01:21] Unknown option -t [01:22] adac: sudo service sshd restart [01:22] hi all [01:23] I was wondering if someone could help me with a wireless issue on my HP mini 1030 === keanu is now known as [keanu] [01:23] Blue1, mickster04 sudo service sshd restart [01:23] sshd: unrecognized service [01:23] WinstonSmith: its a recent update, i was getting frustrated with the old version, though its beta, its rock solid. other day all I had to do was forward couple of links for hamachi and tightvnc and I was able to control win 7 pc half way around the world in couple of mins. My only gripe is that I cannot use the network lock feature, its only for paid versions [01:23] adac: have you installed ssh server? [01:23] adac: means you probably don't have the openssh-server instealled [01:24] cldrain: it would help if you would specify the issue === sean is now known as Guest22772 [01:25] mickster04, Blue1 it is installed. Ichecked everything cause I couldn't believe it neither [01:25] Is there an ubuntu version of the locales-all pkg in ubuntu? I see it in debian [01:25] I have an HP Mini and i just installed the latest version of the netbook remix - both the wired and wireless connection does not work - [01:25] razz1 : yeah its really easy to use, been using it for years for games and to ssh into my server (dont like open ports) but since they updated th win client it started to timeout. found a fix for that but still it disconnected sometimes only to reconnect seconds later [01:25] mickster04, Blue1 sudo dpkg --list | grep ssh [01:25] looks like the wireless is disabled and the hardware toggle does nothing to enable it [01:25] ii openssh-client 1:5.1p1-6ubuntu2 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh/rcp repla [01:25] ii openssh-server 1:5.1p1-6ubuntu2 secure shell server, an rshd replacement [01:25] ii ssh 1:5.1p1-6ubuntu2 secure shell client and server (metapackage) [01:25] adac: right sudo service ssh restart should work, try start instead of restart [01:25] adac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:25] ii sshfs 2.2-1 filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer [01:26] razz1 : what is the network lock feature? === Farmer__ is now known as Farmer__________ [01:26] mickster04, Blue1 http://pastie.org/1116711 [01:26] I did a dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror and now have the bunk drive copied over to a new one. How do I get at the stuff when mounting gives me a "mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock" [01:28] adac: then you need to work out what is using the port [01:28] cldrain: this might be too simple, but it's always a good check for notebooks: there's usually a shortcut for disabling/enabling the wireless features of the notebook via the keyboard; is this what you're referring to when you say 'hardware toggle"? [01:28] adac: what programs do you have running? [01:28] mickster04, Blue1 see this: http://pastie.org/1116712 this Process �6� is using it. If I kill it then sshd dies [01:29] using VNC (with password) is not safe? [01:29] WinstonSmith: if you do not want to add any more users to you network, you can lock it down, its safe that way. But right now I just use a password and manual authorisation to allow users. [01:29] anyone? locales-all? Is my only option here "dpkg-reconfigure locales" which takes 7+ mins [01:29] adac: right so sshd is running? [01:29] :kwikwag there is an on/off switch on the front - it seems to me that it is a driver issue but I can't get the driver without being online... [01:29] mickster04, through this process named �6� yes [01:30] Agu10: the data transmitted is not encrypted and can be captured easily to see what you are doing [01:30] adac: right well mayb it IS sshd === Farmer__________ is now known as Farmer [01:30] mickster04, but it shouldn't be. [01:30] mickster04, see this http://www.randco.fr/?p=actualites&ID=48 let google translate it [01:31] ActionParsnip: can they take control over my PC ? === Farmer is now known as Farmer_ [01:31] Agu10, They could see the password you sent. [01:31] mickster04, it seems to be exactyl my problem [01:31] adac: do sudo service ssh stop then see if its there [01:31] Agu10, So they could log in later. [01:31] Hello ubuntu [01:31] S4ry, Hi [01:31] edbian: how can I make it safe? [01:31] Agu10, By creating an ssh tunnel. [01:32] adac, that list you pasted shows an IP in the 172 area as the connection; that's NOT you so the concluision is that you have been invaded. [01:32] is that any slower, edbian ? [01:32] mickster04, still there [01:32] Agu10, No. It isn't any slower: https://secure.jabsupport.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=139 [01:32] Agu10, Just more steps. [01:32] if lubotu3 , has been kicked .. how to invite the bot back [01:32] thanks [01:32] adac: well then I guess it is extra-curricular.... I wouldn't know how to fix it:/ [01:33] Agu10, It is significantly easier to just log in remotely using ssh in the first place though. However you will be cli only (to some people that seems to be constraining but really it isn't). [01:33] jk_, 172.16.1.187:22 (server internnal ip) 172.16.1.160:48142 (my internal ip) [01:33] adac: kill it then manually restart sshd yourself [01:33] mickster04, on the next restart it would be overwritten again [01:33] edbian: it is in windows [01:33] adac: try "ps -ef" to see the full path of that binary [01:33] adac: then you can delete it [01:33] <_Lee_> What directory is the video driver located? [01:34] cldrain: the only thing I can tell you is that it seems that other people are having issues as well (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/broadcom-802-11b-g-wlan-issues-339970/) I would try and hook up the notebook via a wired connection and see that it works, perhaps obtaining proprietary drivers from Broadcom [01:34] Agu10, What is. The server or the client? [01:34] edbian: and it is usually much slower... it depends on the use [01:34] it's slower to use on CLI than it is on GUI sometimes, edbian [01:34] q: can anyone please assist me with my troubles in cifs/samba I mentioned above? [01:34] Agu10, Oh I see. windows cli is slower. Yes probably true :) [01:34] Agu10, Have fun! :) [01:35] adac: might also look at "cat /proc/1535/cmdline [01:35] maco, mickster04 http://pastie.org/1116725 [01:35] <_Lee_> What directory is the video drivers located? [01:35] any specific channel for Ubuntu bots ! [01:35] thune3, maco mickster04 cat /proc/1535/cmdline [01:35] �6� [01:36] S4ry: #ubuntu-bots used to exist, iirc. [01:37] Is there a way to find out what process has a lock on /dev/rfcomm0 ? [01:37] Agu10: they will be able to see all keypresses in plain text so if you type any password etc they can be captured too [01:37] George_e: fuser, or lsof, maybe. [01:37] prince_jammys, appreciate it === cldrain_ is now known as cldrain === gary_ is now known as Guest48312 [01:37] adac: mmm its not giving the path [01:37] nope [01:37] is there any built-in solution for VNC with ssh tunneling, ActionParsnip ? [01:38] its hiding [01:38] maco^^ [01:38] ActionParsnip: for windows too [01:38] adac: at this point, i'd reinstall [01:38] adac: hiding sounds like a rootkit to me [01:38] prince_jammys: "fuser /dev/rfcomm0" returns nothing - it's blank. [01:38] George_e: try ''lsof /path'' [01:39] maco, sure i will do that. But sitll i want to learn more about this thng. And honestly... I relly really surprised that something like that could have happened [01:39] prince_jammys: "lsof /dev/rfcomm0" is blank too. === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn [01:39] adac: run chkrootkit? [01:39] adac: or rkhunter? [01:40] Agu10: most secure and easiest way is to try hamachi and vnc, i would suggest tightvnc. which system is going to be the server. windows or ubuntu? [01:40] prince_jammys: Whenever I try to open the port with BitPim, I get an error that the port is in use. [01:40] George_e: my guess is no-one has it open, then. [01:40] prince_jammys: "/dev/rfcomm0: could not open port /dev/rfcomm0: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy: '/dev/rfcomm0'" [01:40] maco, runned both. Nothing suspicious [01:41] razz1: I will use both windows and ubuntu [01:41] *ran [01:41] razz1: and clients too. windows and ubuntu :PÑ [01:41] It's weird... === luist_ is now known as luist [01:41] Guys , any clue about how to run your own IRC server on Ubuntu server [01:41] S4ry: install dancer-ircd? [01:42] Agu10: still hamachi and tightvnc is the way to go. do you have physical access to both or tell me which one are you sitting in front of [01:42] prince_jammys: If I try to open the port in Bluetooth manager, it says "Connection Failed - port already in use." [01:42] maco, Okay [01:42] adac: it's appearance after atd and cron could be unrelated but it's somewhere to look /etc/cron stuff and /var/spool/cron/ stuff. Also I would install debsums and run "debsums -ac" [01:42] How would I go about finding the names of all the files in a directory and echoing them into a file in bash? [01:42] S4ry, When you get it up tell me! I'll join it to help test. [01:42] George_e: beats me [01:42] razz1: does vnc spawn a new X session of does it use the exsisting one? [01:42] Weird... :P [01:42] razz1 : do you know a GUI for hamachi2 ? haguichi only supports ver 0.9 :( === Freejack is now known as Freejack` [01:43] razz1: I would like to have a portable client to run anywhere [01:43] edbian, that whould be kind of ya :) [01:43] I'm sitting on my laptop, which will usually be one of the clients [01:43] Still , along way to go .. installing Ubuntu serve on Apple iMac [01:43] Agu10 : hamachi does not support portable clients [01:45] thune3, ok. Its late I go to bed. Maybe we can talk tomorrow. A fresh installation will be done anyways. So good night channel and thanks for your help [01:45] WinstonSmith: oh. what can I do? [01:46] O' thats funny , i asked on ##Mac if it's okay to set an IRC Server .. they pointed me to do so using LINUX lol [01:46] Agu10 : well portable is hard. cant you install hamachi on all clients & server ? [01:46] ok, I finally narrowed down the problem that I tried to access a hidden share (c$). Trying to access a normal share worked. Anyone has any idea how I can connect to a hidden windows share (c$) if I wish? [01:46] I mean , an IRC Server on Mac [01:46] I have a Toshiba Satellite C655D S5057 unit which absolutely refuses to boot with ACPI ON. Is there a fix for this in Ubuntu 10.04 or Ubuntu 10.10 Alpha 3? [01:46] S4ry: even apple doesnt use their own servers :P [01:47] S4ry: i have a friend who worked there. its mostly solaris. i think he said a bit of red hat too [01:47] kwikwag : are you connecting as Administrator? [01:47] maco, No ! .. thats a shame === hannibal is now known as Guest40001 [01:47] Wow , isn't that something :) [01:47] WinstonSmith: yes; and I actually finally solved this one as well [01:47] TiK: uses the existing one, for a virtualX session most recommended one is NX, but the freenx package is broken when i tried it last time. You can also use vncserver to create one. look at this http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Remote_Access_to_the_Ubuntu_Linux_Desktop, at the bottom [01:47] DJAshnar: try it and let us know? [01:47] how can I make an ubuntu live disk with broadcom drivers that will get my wireless card working properly? [01:47] DJAshnar: if not, then file a bug [01:47] in nautilus I should specify c$ in the folder box rather than the share box [01:47] and preferably that will install those drivers when i install it... [01:47] problem solved [01:48] thanks WinstonSmith and thanks to myself :) [01:48] :D [01:48] WinstonSmith: i dont, but the command line is so easy, you will not need one [01:48] welcome but i didnt do much [01:48] rotham: boot up a live cd, install to a usb stick, boot up the stick, and install the drivers you need. [01:49] ahh ok itll save it to the usb card? [01:49] razz1 : yes on the server i have everything on cli naturally but on the desktop the rightclick menu on the clients is quite practical [01:49] maco - Under Ubuntu 10.04, with ACPI=off it is fine, but then I seem to only be running single core >.< Under Backtrack 4 (based on Ubuntu 8.04 I THINK) it is fine with ACPI=on [01:49] rotham: youll have already installed a normal instal to your stick. its just like any other harddriver [01:49] *hard drive === Freejack is now known as Freejack` [01:50] DJAshnar: itd likely be a kernel thing since its acpi. try other versions in between there to narrow down which kernel broke it [01:50] edbian, .. [01:50] S4ry, .. [01:50] rotham: so, just like any other install, youll be able to add packages and drivers as you see fit [01:50] ciao for now [01:50] Wasnt there a kernel fix for 9.04 posted some time back? Is there a way to incorporate that fix with a newer kernel? [01:51] Agu10: i do not know how you can achieve a portable solution that is secure with out having a portable system that is secure in the first place. [01:51] cya [01:51] DJAshnar: there are kernel updates every few weeks or so. only way to tell if a particular update fixes your issue is to try it [01:51] razz1: oh ok I use x11vnc [01:51] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9726837 [01:51] Agu10: you will need admin access to install the software you need and I doubt you college will install it for you [01:52] Agu10: http://www.ytechie.com/2008/05/set-up-a-windows-ssh-tunnel-in-10-minutes-or-less.html [01:52] How would I go about finding the names of all the files in a directory and echoing them into a file in bash? [01:52] asa: recursively? find . -type f > list_of_files [01:52] asa: ls >> file.txt [01:52] asa ls -f | text.txt (i think) [01:52] oo [01:53] Agu10: personally I only advise vnc over lan, although in most cases there are sleeker solutions, in your case you do need vnc [01:53] which one then? [01:53] MIGHT work! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1301101&page=8 [01:53] WinstonSmith: actually I allow hamachi to run in the background all the time. Then there is not need to even touch it except to find out who is online [01:53] mickster04: | is wrong [01:53] and I hate google since they inked a deal with the CIA [01:53] maco: damn:( [01:53] mickster04: thats for going to another command. you need > or >> to put stuff in a file === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [01:53] asa: the recursive form of ls is: ls -R >> file.txt [01:53] maco: yes i see [01:54] ActionParsnip: should I use other remote desktop solutions?

RDP ping etc [01:55] i like that [01:55] hi, I am trying to locate a free program for windows that will allow me to write the ubuntu netbook edition to a SD card. I do not have a USB drive right now... I cannot seem to find any solutions via google [01:55] ubuntu netbook edition iso --> SD card bootable [01:56] asdf-: netbootin [01:56] razz1 : i love the CLI but sometimes a GUI is also practical ;) === Freejack is now known as Freejack` [01:56] asdf-: i think that can run on windows [01:56] asdf-: have you tried using alive disk? and installing it that way? [01:56] dougsko, thank you [01:56] a live disk* [01:56] mickster04, never heard of alive disk... will try netbootin first [01:56] thanks a lot [01:56] asdf : unetbootin FTW [01:56] asdf-, its unetbootin [01:56] WinstonSmith, thanks [01:57] bazhang, thanks [01:57] found it [01:57] my pleasure [01:57] will installing kde-standard make it available to choose between KDE and GNOME at the login screen? Also, will it change anything in my GNOME?

[01:58] micker04, i have a 2GB sd card... I prefer to install without connecting to net so that I can make sure it has all of the updates before i do connect it [01:58] thanks for the suggestion [01:58] bazhang, ok, thanx. but will it change anything in GNOME or will it be like installing a new system? [01:58] any davical users around? [01:58] quietone: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors [01:58] asdf-: how do you get all the updates without the internet? [01:58] Cl1FF, more crowded apps menu [01:58] WinstonSmith: i agree, but if something works for me, I do not waste any more time on it. if hamachi is running try sudo hamachi list and it should list all the networks and users. then you can use the IP to ping. I never used haguchi, but logmein has a nice GUI for windows. if it helps.

[02:03] razz1 : see PM please [02:03] quietone: the problem i believe is that your framebuffer device isnt being created properly [02:03] mickster04, how do i make the sd card bootable then? [02:03] dougl, and it was booting yesterday and this morning. for various reasons I reinstalled. [02:03] WinstonSmith: tell me about it, I help my folks with their system. they have no computer knowledge. I agree GUI helps, but I guess for now CLI has to do [02:04] quietone: please pastebin your grub.conf [02:04] razz1 : CLI is tha shit [02:04] WinstonSmith, watch the language please [02:04] WinstonSmith: watch the language please [02:04] asdf-: ermm...use a normal adapter and not a camera might help [02:04] bazhang: ;( [02:05] asdf-: are you expecting to boot from the camera ultimately? [02:05] mickster04, im going to extract the iso to the sd's main directory [02:05] thune3, no, using the camera as the sd adapter... booting the sd card in netbook [02:05] dougsko, where is grub.conf? [02:05] razz1 : i have a couple of friends who do webstreaming and they had a problem some days ago where they had ~180000 files jpgs in 1 directory on a mac... the finder just gives up there if you try to move the files around so a little mv *.jpg really helped :D [02:05] asdf-: well that might work, but i dunno if the camera ill let you boot from the card [02:06] asdf-: i thought more, burn the disk and install to the ssd card [02:06] sd* [02:06] sry for the language ppl === S4ry|Away is now known as S4ry [02:06] I just installed amarok on lucid.

[02:07] :D [02:08] asdf-: eitherway install ubuntu onto the drive rather than unloadiung the iso onto it, you will have to set the bootable bit etc [02:08] Oh and I have 2 GB of RAM. [02:08] LinuxFetus: you dont need the swap with that much ram really.... dunnpo about your problem, my asus eee with 1Gb wont hybernate either [02:09] eeeeeeeeeeeeeee [02:09] Pupuser402, stop that [02:09] Pupuser402: do you need help?

[02:12] How could i start a daemon process with an Owner permissions [02:12] mickster04, i don't have an sd adapter on my windows computer [02:12] edbian: And I didn't know what to do, so I just selected no. [02:13] mickster04, i only have my camera as an adapter for windows. my netbook has a sd slot [02:13] ooooh ok, well I wouldn't recommend just unzipping the iso to the disk, that probably won't work, but you may as well try [02:13] asdf-: what is on your netbook atm? [02:13] asdf-: OS wise? [02:15] WinstonSmith: a) first I've heard of it, b) looks neat, c) according to it, amarok should be on the sound & video menu, but it isn't. Maybe I'll have to restart or something (ugh, how windows-y :-) [02:15] WinstonSmith: and d) thanks. [02:15] quietone: well, do a startx or something and see if it worked. you might also wanna check if /dev/fb* exists [02:16] my GnomeDo just start sometimes although its in system>preferences>startup applications. other apps work. any solutions?

I.e. wouldn't it just trash much of my UI? [02:18] WinstonSmith: could be its starting and crashing for some reason.

[02:42] WinstonSmith: voice chat [02:42] Oh wow!!!!! [02:42] Nerdy3_14159265: did you MD5 test the iso you downloaded? did you burn as slowly as you were allowed? Did you chec the CD for defects/ [02:42] It was visual effects/ [02:42] I had to turn it down to none. [02:43] I don't know how to MD5 test it but it was from the ubuntu site [02:43] razz1 : sry ive never done something like that.... maybe worth losing an afternoon (and night) tinkering heheheh [02:43] Nerdy3_14159265, are you using the 32 or the 64 bit version? [02:43] I burned it at max speed but it was verified for errors [02:43] Nerdy3_14159265: doesn't matter where its from, if the data gets damaged in transit then you'll get issues [02:43] It's 64 bit because that's what I have for a computer [02:43] excess^, good for you [02:44] Nerdy3_14159265, and are you on the live cd right now? [02:44] Nerdy3_14159265: basically you have pulled down a file and not checked it, it could have errors in the data which you havent checkd for, md5 is a way to test the image BEFORE burning so you know the data is good [02:44] WinstonSmith: no problem, thanks for the help. [02:44] !md5 | Nerdy3_14159265 [02:44] Nerdy3_14159265: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [02:44] WinstonSmith: mumble can do it, heard lot of gamers use it, it has a server and allows lot of clients to connect. for me its overkill. i will keep trying. thanks [02:44] hi everybody [02:45] i've got a problem [02:45] Nerdy3_14159265: you can also boot to the CD, when the stickman appears, press spacebar, you can then check the cd for defects. This is also needed to be completed so you know the cd you burned with the good image isnt botched [02:45] razz1, u could install teamspeak or ventrillo i installled teamspeak wasnt hard [02:45] i'd like to install some exe through wine [02:45] Nerdy3_14159265, if you ok with using another cd and on the live cd right now we can walk you threw the burn and md5 test. [02:45] erm, help! I can't get my the other person to hear me on google voice. Any ideas to identify the problem? [02:45] Nerdy3_14159265: dont worry most users have the same "it'll be ok jack" attitude but the fact is that PCs arent perfect and errors can and do occur [02:45] but i can't get through it [02:45] I'm not on the live cd because it won't even boot off the cd, it plays the sound lets me move the mouse for awhile on a black screen then freezes [02:46] poutch: what app? [02:46] Nerdy3_14159265: then you still need to test the iso [02:46] Nerdy3_14159265, all signs point to a bad disk [02:46] Okay now how do I do it [02:46] !md5 | Nerdy3_14159265 [02:46] Also I've burned 2 disks, one brand new and one that was used before [02:47] Nerdy3_14159265: ubottu gave you the ink earlier [02:47] How do I go about getting or building a deb file of a package that I can copy to a non-networked computer, to install it?

Thing is, the document is (as mentioned) in PDF form, which can't (to my knowledge) be opened by the GIMP, so I need to convert it to ordinary image files. I tried using ImageMagick's `convert' utility, but the end result looks /terrible/, not near as nice as the original PDF, making it even harder to read. I [03:04] tried passing a higher DPI to `convert', but all that did was make it blurry, as if I just scaled up the results from my first attempt. Is there a better way of converting PDFs to images? [03:04] anyone know how to telnet to a specific virtual desktop? [03:04] ChogyDan1 what do I do, then? === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [03:04] How do I get back normal resolution?

The package that came with my ubuntu doesn't allow me normal screen resolutions [03:05] ActionParsnip: True, but I need all of the document. It is only ten pages, so I guess I could do it that way (ugh)... thanks anyways [03:05] seth_: did you use the driver manager? [03:05] velociostrich, GIMP can open pdfs [03:06] velociostrich, have u tried a screen shot / gimp / noise reduction.. [03:06] velociostrich: the guys in #gimp may know something [03:06] seth_, did you try System->Administration->Hardware Drivers? [03:06] velociostrich: could try pdf2html too [03:06] WinstonSmith: it can?!?? I must try! thanks [03:06] np [03:06] ActionParsnip: I don't know if that would do the images, though it's worth a try [03:06] gimp should open,, buh depends on format [03:06] seth_: make sure to uninstall the previous things installed before you try that [03:07] ChogyDan1:, how do I do that? [03:07] would anyone know how to fix an issue with my mouse input device? it stops processing inputs i am not sure how to configure it. i just bought a new mouse and have a driver cd if there was some way to run those drivers like ndiswrapper [03:07] Plus, if I uninstall a graphics driver, I won't have a screen to work with [03:07] WinstonSmith, ActionParsnip, lee_: The gimp imported the PDF just fine! thanks again [03:07] seth_: what did you install?

My samba server is Ubuntu Lucid with an external dyndns address. So what exactly would I put in for "//fileserver/Leanne", assuming my address was google.com?

[03:16] iflema, whats the diff. between deny, and regect? [03:16] WinstonSmith, why not?

I've streamed 1080p movies over samba using this system, but I was just looking for a way to mount automatically. However, I think that ActionParsnip's solution might be better suited for me. [03:22] Is there a way of interacting with the xfce4-weather-plugin in terminal? [03:22] ActionParsnip, That sounds rad. Can it automount at login?

[03:59] humm im not sure but i think theres extended unofficial ubuntu reps somewhere [03:59] WinstonSmith, , Installed it now, and can't find that command also. [03:59] 1 min [03:59] i have an ATI video card. how do i know if im using the proprietary or open-source drivers? [04:00] bluezone, OK [04:00] Hello everyone. Just installed the latest ubuntu using wubi. Almost everything worked great right off the bat, except the graphics are odd. At first I was getting graphical anomalies when I would scroll in Firefox. Now the fonts are messed up throughout the system, with black boxes replacing random letters. [04:00] egsome, try installing perl_5.8.8-7ubuntu3_i386 [04:00] WinstonSmith, http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic/download ? [04:01] WinstonSmith, Can you run that command ? "perlcc" ? [04:01] Back again [04:01] shpook: maybe ubuntu doesn't ship your video card driver... or a graphics card defect, what your graphics card? [04:01] I messed with boot options a bit [04:01] can you use karmic kernel packages in lucid? [04:01] Hi! I want to resize my linux partition. But I don't know if I do that I will lose my grub. Someone here can tell me if it will hapen? [04:01] you shouldn't [04:01] victorhugo, i haven't [04:02] I disabled ACPI and it booted but I couldn't get my wireless to work [04:02] how do I do reverse ssh, ssh into the client from the server w/out sshing into the client ip, but from an open connection [04:02] also my computer has booted into ubuntu awhile ago, without messing with boot options and my wireless worked [04:02] ridin, what? [04:02] WinstonSmith, I asked now on #perl, they said that it has been deprecated, and PAR is the alternative [04:02] WinstonSmith, Thanks for help anyway. [04:02] bluezone, not sure, it's an ATI radeon mobile [04:03] egsome, im no perl freak sry [04:03] victorhugo, i've resized my partition, and i didn't lose grub [04:03] WinstonSmith, No problem [04:03] anyone know the command that shows you your harware model numbers etc? [04:03] shpook: one sec lol [04:03] I was so hopeful that ubuntu actually installed without having to fight with drivers for days :-/ [04:03] bluezone, lol ok [04:04] can you use karmic kernel packages in lucid? [04:04] nm [04:04] thanks ridin! [04:04] Anyone have any ideas about that? [04:04] bluezone, hwinfo [04:04] yeah [04:04] bluezone, hwinfo [04:05] shpook: hwinfo xD [04:05] ridin: no as the kernel for karmic is a karmic kernel, you could maybe install the backports [04:05] ActionParsnip, the karmic backports? [04:05] shpook: u can find your video card with that and google for a driver, i hope its not a defect though [04:05] ridin, thats what i told u:| [04:05] well ppl gotta go. cya all [04:06] ridin: it will be the lucid backports but I believe they will install something karmic shaped (not sure though) [04:06] bye win thanks [04:06] Action, I did what you said and messed with boot options [04:06] bluezone, I'll give it a shot. Graphics are perfect on Win6, it's only here on Ubuntu I have issues [04:06] Nerdy3_14159265: cool [04:06] as usual :( [04:06] heh win6 [04:06] ActionParsnip, ugh, i guess no ubuntu for me. anyway i can get linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic instead? [04:06] win7? :P [04:06] I disabled ACPI and it loaded but my wireless wouldn't work [04:07] ridin: just use karmic, it's supported waaaay into next year [04:07] Nerdy3_14159265: then use a wired connection and get upgraded, it may help [04:07] darn, then i wasted a cd :( [04:07] Hello. Is there one way to tell Ubuntu not to open several instances of the same application, and bring the one that is already running instead? [04:07] upgraded? [04:07] Nerdy3_14159265: sure, the debs on the CD are not fully up to date. Upgrades may help the OS [04:08] hai [04:08] well, i have no more cds, i have no more money, guess no ubuntu for me. thanks ActionParsnip [04:08] The only thing about that [04:08] ShinyDarkness: thats usually automatic [04:08] ridin: use usb [04:08] i don't have any ActionParsnip [04:08] ridin: or SD card etc (assuming your hardware can boot it) [04:08] ShinyDarkness: for what application are we talking about [04:08] is that on that one time that it booted without me changing anything, the wireless worked right away [04:09] My IRC client (XChat): I successfully opened a second copy of it in another virtual desktop. [04:09] Nerdy3_14159265: i'd test the ram then, the feature is on the livecd, wait for the stickman, spacebar, select test ram [04:09] Why would the ram be the problem? [04:09] And for a good while I thought someone had hacked my account. [04:09] ShinyDarkness: you have 2 virtual computer with ubuntu on both? [04:09] Nerdy3_14159265: think about it [04:10] I have no idea [04:10] Nerdy3_14159265: the livecd runs in a ram drive so as not to disturb the internal drive, if the ram is bad you ill get issues [04:10] No, no... I only have one virtual machine, but it has several virtual desktops. [04:10] ah [04:10] The ram shouldn't be bad this is a fairly new computer [04:10] also it hasn't had any ram issues before [04:10] Nerdy3_14159265: means nothing. hardware can be DOA [04:11] I'll run a ram test, but how would that explain the one time it booted from the disk [04:12] can somebody hack me? im testing security [04:12] Nerdy3_14159265: wellif you didnt change something and it booted, then the other boots under the same situation were bad, something is amiss [04:12] n0a1ias: if your system is connected in some way to the WWW then its possible [04:13] and would the ram explain that [04:13] Nerdy3_14159265: maybe, thats why the test exists [04:13] ActionParsnip, yes, but i want it to be hard enough to deter most people. [04:13] whatever, I'll go test that [04:13] but I can't for a little while first [04:13] ShinyDarkness:not sure if you can change that i beleive its done automatically for people who want to run clones [04:13] I'll report back after I've done it [04:14] Nerdy3_14159265: could be a dirty CD lens as well, or maybe the BIOS needs tweaking to be nicer [04:14] bluezone: Okay. Thanks, anyway. [04:14] ShinyDarkness: maybe another client wouldnt do it, not sure, but i couldnt find that in the options [04:14] k [04:15] ActionParsnip, what would be the right channel to ask that in? [04:15] I'll run a cd cleaner then before the ram test but still later [04:15] n0a1ias: Nothing on this network [04:16] syn-ack, do you know the right network? [04:16] I dunno man linux distros don't like my cd burer i get sr0 errors so I istall from a usb drive [04:17] its burns and reads fine though [04:19] i try to compile WiMAX driver 1.3.2 on Unbuntu 10.04 , gcc version is 4.4.3 but failed it says cannot find ./tmp.config.mk does anybody know where the problem is ? thanks [04:20] n0a1ias you got many enemies after ya?? You holding international secrets on that com of yours?? block all incomming and leave it at that. ALSO be careful where ya point ya browser and always use the packeges from the official Ubuntu repositories... and youll be sweet.... [04:20] fishfly: you ran ./configure before make? [04:22] I'm running the cleaner, I'll do the ram check later [04:22] I'm running 10.04.1, and my screen resolution won't work. does anyone have any ideas? [04:22] hey all [04:22] whens ubuntu replacing windows?? [04:23] I have a nvidia geforce 9400M graphics card [04:23] thune3 there is no .configure file [04:23] it just cuts off the right and bottom of the screen [04:23] !ot | jb12 [04:23] jb12: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[04:25] any Ubuntu experts? [04:25] jb12: ah right yeah [04:26] anyone? [04:26] thetem: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [04:26] jb12: old Grub is really easy to make better, Grub 2 no not quite [04:26] oh [04:26] !grub2 | jb12 [04:26] jb12: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:26] i am trying a new installation process of a dual boot system [04:26] i want to install Ubuntu first [04:26] thetem, om not an expert, but ill help if i can [04:26] thetem: uhmm [04:26] thetem: (on a single line) [04:26] thetem: better to install Windows first [04:26] then XP on top of it so the windows bootloader is the default [04:27] thetem: otherwise it will go over the Grub bootloader, when you put Windows on, and re installing the bootloader isn't that easy [04:27] i installed Ubunt [04:27] reinstalling the bootloader is very simple [04:27] i have done it thousands of times [04:27] thetem: anyway jrib is a sort of expert, and there will be some others around [04:27] but the issure is that i want to use Microsoft's MBR for the default system bootloader [04:27] can i not do this? [04:28] thetem, ok now make the partion for windows [04:28] thetem: you cant install windows on top of linux have to install linux on top of windows to get the linux bootloader [04:28] thetem: if you hack it you can use the Windows bootloader [04:28] thetem: or if you use Wubi, which I woudn't normally recommend === localhost2 is now known as localhost [04:28] !wubi | thetem [04:28] thetem: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [04:28] no no no [04:28] thune3: no luck ... I tried hd0,4 and hd0,4,a, both of which were listed by ls, and it still booted into the first freebsd partition instead of the second [04:28] thetem: the windows boot loader is quite limited, grun is much more encompassing and can boot both OSes easil [04:28] i want to use the microsoft bootloader === kt0sh_ is now known as Pepito [04:28] *grub [04:28] yeah [04:28] but it confuses most of the people i work with [04:29] infact [04:29] it confuses all of them [04:29] thetem: why do you want to use the microsoft bootloader instead of grub? With grub it will likely "just work" [04:29] not sure why anyone would want to use a microsoft bootloader but to each their own I guess [04:29] thetem: once its installed and configured, you never have to touch it [04:29] thetem: indeed @ jrib [04:29] there is not a command i can just rwrite in by hand in the bootloader> [04:29] ? [04:29] or do you simply just not know [04:29] what i am asking [04:29] ActionParsnip: that sounds great in theory, but I'm having problems configuring it :) [04:29] thetem: the chance of Grub 2 messing up afer you have installed Ubuntu, is not that likely at all [04:29] oh my gosh [04:29] thetem: install windows and leave inpartitioned space. Install Ubuntu to the free space. You will NEVER have to touch grub [04:29] thetem: unless you do something silly like putting Windows on after Ubuntu of course [04:30] so you have no clue what i am taking about [04:30] anyone else in here know what i am asking? [04:30] yes [04:30] I cleaned the disk drive [04:30] that is just it [04:30] thetem: you want to use the Windows bootloader to boot Ubuntu, well that is not so easy to do, and not standard [04:30] I'll do the ram test in a minute [04:30] i want to install ubuntu fisrst, then windows [04:30] thetem: i'd ask in ##windows how to configure there bootloader to do it, you'll most likely find they tell you to use grub or lilo [04:30] oh man [04:31] thetem ....yes we understand what you want just cant figure out why??? [04:31] i really dont wana do that [04:31] ... [04:31] thetem: seriously, just use grub [04:31] thetem: http://bkpavan.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/how-to-boot-linux-using-windows-bootloader-xp/ [04:31] so the only solution is grub?! [04:31] really?!?! [04:31] You want the Windows bootloader to boot Linux? [04:31] god knows why, its soooo much harder [04:31] yes [04:31] thetem: it's the sensible solution [04:31] that is exactly what i am asking [04:31] And you think that's remotely possible? [04:31] thetem: you can use lilo if you like too, both are great bootloaders [04:31] anyone know anything about 3d accel with rs690m x1200 video [04:31] yes i do [04:31] grub........WORKS!!!!!! [04:31] i can get it to boot Solaris [04:32] but then again [04:32] thetem: stop pressing enter. [04:32] solaris is run by actual engineers [04:32] thetem: oh you want to boot Solaris? [04:32] no [04:32] I don't believe that to be honest. Good luck. [04:32] i want to use Ubuntu [04:32] dougb_freebsd: i'm wondering if the boot flag thing is an issue [04:32] nope [04:32] it can be done, its just not very graceful [04:32] thetem type ..../join #Solaris [04:33] so I actually want to use grub2, but it can't seem to boot my second freebsd partition (the menu entry for it always boots the first one instead) [04:33] thetem, is there a reason you need to use ms boot loader? [04:33] when i change the flag back to the ex4, n [04:33] no [04:33] thune3: ok, thanks [04:33] *sigh* [04:33] considering the flexibility of grub and the stagnant nature of the bootloader in windows. I'm suprised you want to use it but hey it's your blood pressure [04:33] dougb_freebsd: not sure, but I think there may be some issue with the Ubuntu version of Grub 2 and booting up other OS's that aren't Windows. [04:33] thetem: did you read the article that ActionParsnip pasted for you? [04:33] !grub2 | dougb_freebsd [04:33] dougb_freebsd: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:33] no i did not [04:33] how can I disable those annoying black bubble notifications? [04:34] thetem: if you ask for help, try reading the links people give: http://bkpavan.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/how-to-boot-linux-using-windows-bootloader-xp/ [04:34] rrndman: I guess removing notify-osd is the easiest way to do that [04:34] sebsebseb: I've read that one, thanks .... it got me as far as creating the menu entries, and the first one works [04:34] i missed it [04:34] i am pulling an all nighter [04:34] so my eyes are fussy and i am in a bitchy mood [04:34] rrndman: I assume thats what your refering to, for example the black message when there are updates? [04:35] thetem: no worries, basically it makes a bin file of the grub stuff on the disk and tells the win loader to run it, it will then kick off linux [04:35] not very elegant at all [04:35] sebsebseb: yes... they aren't particularly useful for me [04:36] rrndman: indeed they aren't really that great, they are ok though, however upstream Gnome has a nicer notifcation bubble [04:36] really? any screens? [04:36] that might do it [04:36] i am not looking for eligance [04:36] so a different grub question, how do I get it to choose the last OS that was selected from the menu by default? GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true doesn't seem to do it [04:37] rrndman: not sure about having the Gnome thing instead, in Ubuntu [04:37] i am looking for something that wont freak out the morons in IT that cant use anything but windows [04:37] thetem: in IT? [04:38] the "techies" that keep up the windows systems [04:38] rrndman: most other distros using Gnome, will have it instead though, I guess [04:38] sebsebseb: notification-daemon is in the repo if that is what you mean [04:38] thetem, if you dont wana freak them out, linux may not be the best option... [04:38] seb: not from the US, eh? [04:38] trism: yeah thats probably what I mean [04:38] oh no no no [04:38] i know it is [04:39] thetem, ok as long as you know [04:39] !info notification-deamon [04:39] Package notification-deamon does not exist in lucid [04:39] !info notification-daemon [04:39] notification-daemon (source: notification-daemon): a daemon that displays passive pop-up notifications.

[04:40] trism: thanks [04:40] trism: I guess [04:40] rrndman: anyway you may prefer that its worth a try, and thats the way it is meant to be done really :) [04:41] sebsebseb, okay, I'll do that then :) thx [04:41] n0a1ias: Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx [04:42] Hi people, i'm trying to compile lame from source code but i'm getting those errors http://pastebin.com/vMJNGeNt any idea of how can i solve that ?

I don't know what difference it might make http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Device-syntax [04:50] yeah, I was actually reading that doc when you pasted the other link, and I saw that reference to using ,a in other docs too, but I don't need it for the first menu entry, and when I tried it for the second entry it didn't help [04:51] dougb_freebsd: i think you have it backwards, hidden- means unhide and hidden [04:51] dougb_freebsd: hidden+ means hide [04:52] How to install google earth in ubuntu 10 [04:52] dougb_freebsd: oops, this is for the sda3 version sry [04:52] ah, I misread the first/second in that link you sent [04:52] hey guys, im having trouble getting the wireless on my laptop to work [04:52] thune3: ok, I'm going to give this a try, thanks again [04:52] Lock_drive_~ you can just download it from google [04:52] dougb_freebsd: and you might need the boot part [04:53] !wireless | daffy [04:53] daffy: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:53] !details | daffy [04:53] daffy: Please give us full details.

[04:55] !evolution | highclasshole [04:56] !email [04:56] sebsebseb: thanks I will see if my mom can use outlook on the web [04:56] kwabbles: i dont want to download [04:56] welp... i'm back [04:56] highclasshole: and with enough RAM, a bit of a sucky way to do it [04:56] kwabbles: and i already have a 10.04 desktop cd [04:56] highclasshole: ,but you can do a Windows virtual machine if you got install media for that [04:56] highclasshole: and run Outlook in that [04:56] and some good old brandy calmed me down but i am still at a loss [04:56] send me the link....so that i can download google earth through terminal [04:57] sebsebseb: Do you think the runtime libraries provided by wine would be good enough to run outlook? [04:57] highclasshole: no [04:57] highclasshole: well maybe if you do some configuring [04:57] highclasshole: Outlook is pretty sucky anyway [04:57] here is my situation.... i have to figure out a load to have Ubuntu, or Fedora, dualboot with XPpro, but use the microsoft bootloader, and not grub [04:57] highclasshole....why not just configure evolution so she can get her emails???? [04:58] [04:58] any ideas out there? [04:58] highclasshole: who is a troll? [04:58] send me the link....so that i can download google earth through terminal [04:58] highclasshole: you can extract the email to a pst and then import the pst to whatever client you like. The OS is called LINUX not linax, the distro is called UBUNTU, not umberto [04:58] send me the link....so that i can download google earth through terminal [04:58] <----- [04:58] sebsebseb: he's such a bad troll he thinks he needs to tell us [04:58] !!! [04:58] thune3: w00t! [04:58] that did the trick, thanks! [04:58] Lock_drive_: PLEASE!? [04:58] dougb_freebsd: sweet [04:59] !pm > Lock_drive_ [04:59] Lock_drive_, please see my private message [04:59] !earth | Lock_drive_ [04:59] Lock_drive_: Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository [04:59] URL: Download Google Earth [04:59] any ideas on my "boot the last OS by default" question now? :) [04:59] !medibuntu | Lock_drive_ [04:59] Lock_drive_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:59] URL: Medibuntu :: Multimedia, Entertainment & Distractions In Ubuntu [05:00] Lock_drive_: cd ~; wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin; chmod +x ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin; sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin [05:00] I have GRUB_DEFAULT=saved and GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true in /etc/default/grub but they do not seem to be working as advertised [05:00] I'm back, probably to your disdane [05:00] Lock_drive_: try some manners, you'll get further in life [05:00] jrib: oh ok [05:00] Does anyone know what I can add to my to my wmiirc file that will force a specific application to not open as a floating window. Somewhat like how in Xmonad you have to force applications not to loat [05:00] how can I run a .run file as root? [05:00] deevz: gksudo filename.run [05:01] wtf, ubuntu? your testing sucks balls. your bloody LTS release regularly breaks things with updates. you suck. [05:01] ActionParsnip: I tested the ram and cleaned the drive, the ram passed the test [05:01] deevz: what .run file? What are you trying to do? [05:01] I forgot to try and boot from the cd though [05:01] sorry, in xmonad you have to force applications to float [05:01] Nerdy3_14159265: good stuff:) [05:01] i see the alternate install cd can # upgrading from older installations without network access; is this not possible with the desktop cd? [05:01] but the regular boot still locked up and freaked out [05:01] jrib: installing development drivers for nvidia cuda [05:01] when it tried booting ubuntu [05:01] idea.... can i install grub onto a USB flash drive insted of the hardrive, and have that USB flash drive boot up Ubuntu that is installed on the HD? [05:02] Nerdy3_14159265: do you have a USB stick you can use, and can your hardware boot usb? === becquervera is now known as reisilver [05:02] thetem: you would probably want to use something like ultimate grub to do something like that [05:02] thetem: yes, you can install ubuntu and put /boot on the usb device [05:02] I don't know if my hardware can boot usb, but I have ubuntu installed on the hard drive now [05:02] thx ActionParsnip, worked. [05:03] deevz: sweet :D [05:03] how can I put your name in front of easier, I thought I heard you mention a shortcut [05:03] thetem: yes I think you can. grub2 see's a usb flash drive the same as any other. [05:04] Is the file Xorg.conf.new can be renamed Xorg.conf ? It is the output of sudo Xorg -configure. [05:04] Nerdy3_14159265: use tab to autocomplete [05:04] Action, and Saca: is that done during installation? [05:04] where do we find the downloaded items through terminals [05:04] ActionParsnip: Thanks, now what do you think. It still freezes on startup off the hard drive [05:05] Nerdy3_14159265: not sure, does it just go to a black screen per chance? [05:05] in my previous sabayon install, (had it one week back, installed ubuntu this week), when i did ifstatus, it used to show me a graph in the terminal of the network, in ubuntu, it just shows me ppp0: link beat detected, how come? i want the graph... anyone nay ideas? [05:05] ActionParsnip: All it is, is a black screen with the mouse pointer on it. The start up music plays and normally starts repeating part of it like a broken record (with no scratch noise) then it freezes along with the mouse [05:06] Is the file Xorg.conf.new can be renamed Xorg.conf ? It is the output of sudo Xorg -configure. [05:06] Nerdy3_14159265: try this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [05:06] where do we find the downloaded items through terminals [05:07] Lock_drive_: depends where YOU download them to [05:07] BiggFREE: if you want to use it as your X config, move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, after backing up any existing xorg.conf [05:07] bbiab [05:07] prince_jammys: Thanks [05:07] Lock_drive_: browsers download to either the desktop or ~/Downloads === MePHiSTo1 is now known as Guest44516 [05:07] anyone here? [05:07] hello. i would like to set a widescreen framebuffer resolution. would this be a grub2 file? (i.e vga=0x0364) [05:07] BiggFREE: xorg.conf , to my knowledge you can't capitalize it. [05:08] Lock_drive_: the command I gave downloaded the file to $HOME [05:08] hey guys [05:08] !hi | salted [05:08] prince_jammys: yes We can [05:08] salted: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [05:08] ActionParsnip: Finally a solution thanks I'll try it promptly and get back to you. I'm trying solution 1. [05:08] maybe someone can help me with installing ubuntu? [05:09] dendrite: to change resolution System>Preferences>Monitors [05:09] salted: not if you dont ask [05:09] so I've never used linux before and I thought I would try installing it on an external hard drive tonight. I do the install, reboot and choose to boot from the external hard drive. I get the error "File not found" and then I get some kind of grub recovery prompt. Also its a brand new hard drive. === becquervera is now known as reisilver [05:09] sacarlson. I mean when i boot into console mode or press Ctrl+Alt+F1 I would like to see the text in a widescreen mode. not a stretched 1024x768 mode [05:09] I choose the option to use the entire drive in the install [05:10] salted: how did you format the drive, or take the default? [05:10] I just did the option for use the entire drive [05:10] i don't know what it did to format it, but it took forever [05:10] dendrite: then sounds like you had it right, not sure what numbers after vga=XXX part. [05:10] salted: prolly defaulted to ext4 [05:11] dendrite: you may set that in /etc/default/grub, and 'sudo update-grub' after you edit the file. [05:11] ah ty prince_jammys [05:11] salted: please prepend message for me, with my nic, thanks. === cece_ is now known as sitaback [05:11] Blue1: okay, sure [05:11] salted: thanks - what kind of drive, usb external? [05:12] Blue1: yeah, its a usb external drive [05:12] dendrite: you're using grub2, right? [05:12] Blue1: its brand new so the drive shouldn't be a problem I hope [05:12] i believe so. im on ubuntu 10.04 [05:12] salted: what error are you getting on boot? -- I have had new drives that were doa, so newness is im-material [05:13] Blue1: I think it said, File not found and then a grub recovery prompt shows up [05:13] how do i remove the panel applet in the upper right corner, the one that has my username listed and when clicked lets me set "away" "busy" etc... [05:13] dendrite: i use these two lines: GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024 and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep [05:13] Blue1: I've done the install twice now [05:13] Blue1: same error both times [05:13] salted: i assume you installed grub in the wrong place during installation, does you internal drive still boot correctly? [05:14] thune3: that was my next question - I'll let you take over from here - sounds like exactly the problem [05:14] salted: did you modify you bios settings to boot from a drive other than /dev/sda1 ? like hd(1,1)? [05:14] "gdm-control --shutdown" gives me "** (process:2516): WARNING **: Failed to establish a connection with GDM: No such file or directory", any ideas? [05:14] Blue1: yeah, the internal drive boots fine, if I don't choose the bootup drive in the bios startup it goes to the internal one with no questions and boots windows [05:15] Lol how do I navigate without a mouse :( [05:15] Geo|Android, tried 'Tab .. [05:15] prince_jammys: what does GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep do? [05:15] salted: try doing a sudo blkid and pastebin the results - Ihave to leave atm - family emergency - but thune3 should be able to help you. [05:16] damn, im still having the same problem with running a .run file in sudo [05:16] Does nothing [05:16] anyone knows how? === sitaback is now known as cece [05:16] deevz: did you chmod +x it? [05:16] upgrdman: right clic> remove [05:16] deevz like , ./phenny [05:16] thune3: what is sudo blkid and pastebin? I've never used linux [05:16] TiK, it is an executable, except it doesnt have enough permission to do everything it needs to do [05:17] thune3: I thought it would be easy to install, lol [05:17] sudo = Super user [05:17] anywho im trying tha right now. tyvm. brb [05:17] salted: when the installer had you install grub bootloader do you remember what you put? [05:17] salted: your changes in the bios settings has confused grub2 and has made it modify the mbr on the wrong drive. you can manualy change grub2 to install on the disk you want to boot in bios or change bios to boot from the the mbr grub2 modifies by default /dev/sda [05:17] so i've realised that ifstatus is another app whih comes installed with ifplugd, how do i get the one that graphs the network interface in the terminal? [05:17] hi [05:17] Hello #UBUNTU [05:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com , past your long text [05:17] TiK, I checked the "executable" box in properties tho, didnt chmod +x it... Im not sure if it does the exact same thing [05:18] aslam, Hello [05:18] deevz: yah it does [05:18] Is there a keyboard shortcut to open a terminal window? [05:18] deevz: i've never use a .run file before [05:18] xangua, doing that remove the notification applet. tried that :( [05:18] deevz, it does [05:18] anyone knows how to fix this problem : after i activated the nvidia current driver , it seems like totem doesnt use vertical sync anymore [05:18] deevz: you can try to chmod 770 it... [05:18] Any one developing android apps in ubuntu? [05:19] thune3: The stupid dell bios doesn't give me an option to boot from the external drive unless I select it in the boot menu after pressing f-12. So how do I change grub2 to realize its on the external drive thing? [05:19] when I type "sudo cudatoolkit_3.1_linux_32_ubuntu9.10.run", it says the command is not found [05:19] I'm back and I'm on ubuntu on my hard drive [05:19] WB Nerdy3_14159265_ [05:20] deevz: you need to prepend ./name-of-file.run [05:20] Nerdy3_14159265_: is it ok then? [05:20] salted: grub2 doesn't need the root to be in the same place as the mbr, but the mbr must be set as the point of boot in the bios [05:20] MaRk-I, Exactly [05:20] MaRk-I: he is doing it in gui [05:20] Nerdy3_14159265_, try chairs sometimes. Much more comfortable [05:20] oh nm [05:20] Geo|Android: ALT+CTRL+T [05:20] ActionParsnip: It's working, only thing is how can I import stuff from firefox off windows? [05:20] i mssed that line [05:20] Mark-I, my working directory is the one the .run file is in [05:20] Thanks ActionParsnip. [05:20] ActionParsnip: I saw that you can do it during install but I didn't do it because I thought it was the problem at a time [05:21] salted , you can install grub on a different drive that can be the 1st boot device [05:21] deevz: doesnt matter... add ./ to it [05:21] i got that accidentally [05:21] deevz: yeah, but the file is not in your sudo PATH, then. [05:21] Nerdy3_14159265_: it should be the same kinda layout but I am not sure,the bookmarks are stored in a html file if I recall, there are guides around for that sort of thng [05:21] hey, it works... [05:21] cool... [05:21] Geo|Android: if you use terminal alot, youmay consider guake (gnome) or yakuake (kde) [05:21] timewriter: what if the external hard drive I want to install it on can't be made 1st boot device cause its a stupid dell computer? [05:22] ActionParsnip: What does the install import then? [05:22] g2g hf all [05:22] my sudo path eh? [05:22] Well my problem right now is my mouse doesn't work :) [05:22] salted , install grub on the internal HDD [05:22] Nerdy3_14159265_: http://www.nirmaltv.com/2007/07/25/how-to-back-up-bookmarks-in-firefox/ [05:22] so when I use a command I always need to use the absolute path? [05:22] Nerdy3_14159265_: no idea, i havent used firefox for ages now [05:22] salted: grub2 it totaly automatic it maters not if the drive is external but the mbr must be set to /dev/sda [05:22] timewriter: how do you do that without erasing the drive in the install? [05:22] how do i remove the panel applet in the upper right corner, the one that has my username listed and when clicked lets me set "away" "busy" etc... [05:23] deevz: not if the file is somewhere in the PATH used by sudo. [05:23] I wasn't looking for bookmarks necessarily but also add ons and stuff. [05:23] Doesn't matter then, I can figure it out now that ubuntu is working [05:23] deevz: only with executable binarys like that, otherwise theinterpreter will chck $PATH only [05:23] I'm really new to all this [05:23] grub doesnt erase your drive , if im not wrong [05:23] I see [05:23] and where is the sudo PATH defined? [05:23] deevz: i.e. if it's at say, /usr/bin, or /sbin, you can just invoke the command by name. that doesn't apply to all dirs. [05:23] I had the options to share drives, install on entire drive, or advanced, and I had no idea what to do in advanced [05:23] Hey, how can I edit grub because it thinks I have 2 vista's installed along with my windows 7 and I want to delete them [05:23] lol [05:23] when i installed ubuntu , i did it on my sata raid array [05:24] soreau: got it [05:24] upgrdman: right clic UNDER session applet (not motification area) > remove [05:24] !grub2 | Nerdy3_14159265_ [05:24] but the grub was installed on the IDE drive i have [05:24] Nerdy3_14159265_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [05:24] soreau: thanks [05:24] deevz: it can be configured, and if it's not, i think it's hard coded in the prog. [05:24] prince_jammys: I agree with you about Cap [05:24] so i always have to boot the IDE drive first [05:24] BiggFREE: me too. [05:24] lol [05:24] Hey all. How to configure VLC to play normal DVDs that I get from netflix [05:24] ? [05:24] and i had a lot of data on that IDE drive , and grub didnt erase anything [05:24] salted: grub2 just scans all drives hooked to your computer and creates a menu list to boot any of them external and internal including windows [05:24] cool prince_jammys, thx for the hint [05:25] I have a rtl8192se wireless card on my laptop, any body know how can i get the mon0 to work with aircrack ? [05:25] im not really knowledful about all these PATH variables thingies. [05:25] ubottu: Thanks [05:25] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [05:25] salted: but if you don't tell your bios to run the mbr that grub2 created it will never boot ubuntu [05:25] salted , you can try something else : boot the ubuntu live cd , and reinstall grub , with your external drive plugged in [05:25] ubottu: What? [05:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:25] it may fix the problem [05:25] whats the difference between using apt-get dist-upgrade and the gui to do distro upgrade? [05:25] deevz: they're there so you can invoke commands by name, not having to type their full path. sudo uses a stripped down version of PATH, for security. [05:25] deevz: if you run: echo $PATH you can see the folders, the apps in there can be called from any pwd in the system [05:25] cool, well I'm gunna reboot and try that I guess, thanks, I'll be back if it al fails [05:25] Alt ctrl T isn't working. I'm running some really old distro because it's all I could find lying around. [Sigh] [05:26] speaking of which, the installer just told me "Please make sure your PATH includes /usr/local/cuda/bin" [05:26] btw guys i like 10.04.1 [05:26] That's convenient, smart idea setting up a bot guys to solve some of the simpler questions [05:26] I love Linux! [05:26] deevz: set that in your .profile === becquervera is now known as reisilver === dos is now known as Guest93733 [05:26] fugdnscerd: dist-upgrade installs sensitive stufflike kernels and libc etc, distro upgrade sounds like it will take you to the next release [05:26] hello there === [sleepy] is now known as sleepy|away [05:26] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the help, sorry if I was a bit trying [05:26] i need a coffee [05:26] prince, is that in the etc folder? [05:26] deevz: [ -d /usr/local/cuda/bin ] && PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH in ~/.profile [05:26] deevz: no, in your homedir. [05:27] Nerdy3_14159265_: we got there in the ed and thats what counts,you also know your hardware is healthy [05:27] actionparsnip: is there any way to do a distro upgrade from cli [05:27] timewriter: all salted had to do is put his bios back to default boot of the first disk /dev/sda or sometimes call hd(0,1) or hd(0,0) [05:27] !upgrade | fugdnscerd [05:27] fugdnscerd: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:27] !upgrade [05:27] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:27] deevz: you'll have to log out and back in for that change to take effect in every shell you open. [05:27] night. [05:28] ok prince, thx... trying to find profile in my home directory [05:28] prince_jammys: can't you use: source ~/.profile ? to save a log off? [05:28] hi~ anyone know y if i change the MAC address of my wlan0 ~ it can't connect to my router(MAC filtering is off ), while i still can connect to other router ? [05:29] ActionParsnip: in every shell, yes. [05:29] you'd have to manually source it every time. [05:29] wildbat: you can in /etc/network/interfaces [05:29] sacarlson , if he has grub on the external drive , and the bios cant boot from external drives , now that may be a bit of a problem [05:29] I forgot '.' means the file is hidden... I had to check something to show hidden files [05:29] I have a rtl8192se wireless card on my laptop, any body know how can i get the monitoring mode to work to work with aircrack to work under Lucid? [05:29] wildbat: macchanger [05:29] Hi. I'm trying to install K-EncFS http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=54078 but because it's for KDE3 aptitude tries to remove most of my apps because of a conflict. Is there a way to solve this? With a chroot or something fancy? Is there an easier way? Thanks. [05:29] i mean , bios cant be set up that way [05:30] when i change an artist name in rhhthmbox, it changes but after a few seconds reverts to it's original name [05:30] blackstar: airmon-ng start wireless_interace? [05:30] ActionParsnip, huh? [05:30] wildbat: also: macchanger-gtk [05:30] sdubois: do you have write access to the partition storing the file? [05:30] wildbat: it may be due to your ethernet switch that auto detects you mac address. try unplug and replug you ethernet plug [05:30] jellow yes it does, but it does not create the mon0 [05:30] thanks fpr answering [05:30] for [05:30] ActionParsnip: yes, it's all in ~/Music [05:31] wildbat: you will have to run it as root with gksudo [05:31] wildbat: you can change the mac in the interfaces file, or you can use macchanger [05:31] anyone playing world of warcraft on ubuntu ? [05:31] only seems to happen to one artist [05:31] but i made sure to 777 that directory just to be sure [05:31] timewriter, I'm playing chess [05:31] sdubois: try easytag, does it act te same [05:31] blackstar: try in #aircrack-ng channel [05:31] i can play chess using a real table and pieces :) [05:31] sdubois: 777 is a REALLY bad idea [05:31] hjkkjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj [05:31] blackstar: Does it say monitor mode enabled on any of the interface or sipt out an error? [05:31] too bad i cant do the same with wow [05:32] ActionParsnip: it's just for one directory on my own computer [05:32] whats PlayOnLinux ? [05:32] wine based ? [05:32] is there a meta package to install all the devel packages? like g++, autoconf, etc? [05:32] obviously not on anything important [05:32] sdubois: I think the name you see in the music is not the file name but the tag3 in the mp3 file [05:32] ilmenite , maybe build-essential ? [05:32] ilmenite: doubtful. that'd be a ton of packages. [05:32] ilmenite: build-essential [05:32] ah, took it too literally [05:32] thanks :) [05:32] it say on enable [05:32] timewriter: like wine, but it creates a .wine directory with its configuration for each Windows application installed [05:33] thatnks gasull [05:33] thanks* i mean [05:33] im waiting for Valve to bring Steam to linux [05:33] prince_jammys, is there a way to verify if I correctly set up the path? [05:33] now , how do i fix the v-sync issue i have ? [05:33] deevz: in a shell: echo $PATH [05:33] after i installed the nvidia-current driver , i have no v-sync [05:34] TimeRider: not happening, no steam [05:34] deevz: you have to log out an back in if you want your new PATH available in every terminal you open. otherwise you'd have to manually source .profile every time you open a new terminal. [05:35] ok [05:35] it hasnt changed yet [05:35] jellow it say rtl819xSE (monitor mode enabled) [05:35] but the current path is weird: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [05:35] deevz: your profile gets sourced once, on login [05:35] No stem for Linux: Aug 22nd 2010: http://digitizor.com/2010/08/22/valve-puts-an-end-to-the-steam-on-linux-rumors/ [05:35] deevz: looks like a standard ubuntu PATH [05:35] its like a very long recursive path or something [05:35] deevz: just a list of dirs, separated by colons. [05:35] ill have to find an article on the subject [05:36] blackstar_: Then what is the porblem , just use that interface ? [05:36] sounds fair [05:36] whats the best temperature monitoring app for ubuntu ? [05:36] timewriter: there is no best app, for anyting [05:37] when i try to deauthenticate, my cel phone it does not work [05:37] deevz: when you type say 'ls', bash will scan every dir starting with the first, looking for a file 'ls' to run. that's basically how it works. in that same terminal, bash will remember 'ls' after that. [05:37] timewriter: there is no best anything for anything in life [05:37] why is it I have to end my declaration in ~/.profile with the $PATH variable tho? [05:37] ok , but we are talking about practical things , not phylosophy :) [05:37] huh? [05:37] its a little weird PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH [05:37] the interface mon0 is not created === lintian is now known as yermandu [05:37] timewriter: even life is't best for some people [05:37] so whats the best in the opinion of a developer , for example [05:37] !sensors | timewriter [05:37] timewriter: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [05:38] thanks [05:38] deevz: "path is the same as the current path, with the new dir prepended" [05:38] so I have GRUB_DEFAULT=saved and GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true in /etc/defaults/grub.conf, but it's not working as advertised ... any ideas how to get it to boot the last OS chosen in the menu by default? [05:38] i brought gkrellm [05:38] doesnt the $PATH at the end return the value of what I see in my terminal when I write echo $PATH? [05:38] timewriter: you are using an OS which gives freedom and choice, then you ask some complete strangers what you should use on your system. Sound familiar? [05:38] yes [05:38] looks to me like there should be some recursion [05:38] haha [05:38] timewriter: smacks of microsoft doesnt it [05:39] I must be confused somewhere [05:39] ActionParsnip , considering that your way better than me with ubuntu , id like your advice [05:39] thats why i ask [05:39] deevz: no. you need the "$PATH" because you don't want to lose what's already in it. [05:39] you`re* [05:39] Ohh... [05:39] makes sense [05:39] timewriter: search around dude, there are tonnes of temp monitoring solutions [05:39] dougb_freebsd: What is happening? [05:39] Hey, I just reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 and was having some issues with network manager. It is now not showing up in the top right, nor starting when I run nm-applet [05:39] why bother to search when you can get the best answer from a ubuntu guy ?> [05:40] thats where my logic failed, I thought for some reason it was getting appended twice [05:40] Jordan_U: it continues to show ubuntu as the default [05:40] I want to get on wireless, but do not know how now [05:40] deevz: the system-wide PATH is already set higher up, before your profile gets sourced. you're just modifying it for your user. [05:40] yes, I understand now [05:40] timewriter: it's always best to double check any advice, especially if it comes for free! [05:40] btw, what does this line do: . "$HOME/.bashrc" [05:41] deevz: sources the file ~/.bashrc [05:41] im not that paranoid , greezmunkey , and i trust those guys [05:41] "sources" uh? new concept to me, Ill have to look into that :) [05:41] deevz: man bash [05:41] DLIndy: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you will see the wireless device identified. Websarch for that product line and you will find guides [05:41] i have nothing special on my machine , and as long as they cant steal components via WAN , its ok for me [05:41] deevz: this is a file that gets sourced every time you open a terminal. typically contains aliases, shell settings, your prompt string ... [05:42] dougb_freebsd: Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grubenv? Is your /boot on RAID/LVM ? [05:42] lots of useful information there, even if you don't grasp it all in the first go [05:42] Thank you [05:42] how do i install grub on my raid array ? [05:42] cool dougb [05:42] Jordan_U: does lvm == logical volume? If so, then yes [05:42] I still have much to learn [05:43] deevz: Specifically, the variable $HOME calls out your home directory, but is written that way to be useable for any user that is logged in, and running the script. [05:43] deevz: we all started somewhere :) === dvz- is now known as digitalvectorz [05:43] line when I write [ -d /usr/local/cuda/bin ], feels weird to me because -d looks like a command parameter, and theres no command :O [05:43] like when** === digitalvectorz is now known as grammarNazi === grammarNazi is now known as edo32mb [05:43] deevz: there is a command, '[' === edo32mb is now known as dvz- [05:43] :O [05:43] that is a command, believe it or not. [05:44] thats weird [05:44] so you're right, it's a command argument. [05:44] and ] is a command too then I guess [05:44] Jordan_U: well, that was anticlimactic ... /boot/grub/grubenv has nothing in it [05:44] ActionParsnip , and another think you get from asking profesionists , is that you can learn a lot :) [05:44] hey all [05:44] deevz: no, ] is the last arg :) [05:44] such a confusing command then [05:44] deevz: if you really want to learn bash, /join #bash and read the guide in the topic. [05:44] dougb_freebsd: Savedefault doesn't work with LVM. GRUB2 does not write to LVM because it's complex enough that it can't be done completely safely. [05:44] Hi guys I was wondering if I can boot my ubuntu live usbkey in virtua box ? Im at an internet cafe right now and I dont think they want me turning off this computer. Im basically allowed to download anything I want though. [05:45] ok thx prince [05:45] welcome [05:45] you helped me a lot [05:45] anyway , same data transfer rate on windows 7 = 40 mb/sec , ubuntu 85 mb/sec [05:45] i love this car [05:45] Lol this device cannot do calls on its own. It is no modem [05:45] Jordan_U: ah, crap ... well thanks for the definitive answer anyway :) [05:46] I guess that means I'll have to be more-than-usually-awake when I first power up the laptop in the morning [05:46] is there a uPnP server and client type software that works on ubuntu? [05:47] dougb_freebsd: You can still use grub-set-default, just not savedefault. [05:47] dougb_freebsd: You're welcome. [05:47] what about the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, do I declare that in .profile too? [05:47] Um how do I get out of ctrl f2 or whatever [05:47] deevz: yes [05:48] How do I use a crossover cable to transfer files from my imac to my ubuntu pc? [05:48] Jordan_U: I read the stuff about grub-foo but I was a little fuzzy on it ... is grub-set-default something I run at the command line in ubuntu to set the default for the next boot? [05:48] Sudo reboot? [05:48] dougb_freebsd: Yes. [05:48] deevz: make sure you export it. 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=whatever' [05:49] deevz: PATH is already exported, so you didn't have to bother with that. [05:49] i love the super nintendo emulator [05:49] prince, I dont see the export keyword in front of path tho [05:49] how do I use a crossover ethernet cable? [05:49] and i also love my 128 kbps line [05:49] Jordan_U: ok, that's what I thought, that's just not what I was looking for [05:49] anyway, do I have to use the keyword everytime I redefine LD_LIBRARY_PATH? [05:50] ilyekkakai: hub to hub, PC to PC... [05:50] how to install the downloaded item using terminal [05:50] looking for a rootkit for freebsd [05:50] ilyekkakai: you will need to set each PC with an address as there is no dhcp server [05:50] ilyekkakai: like interface to like interface, get it?! [05:50] deevz: not if you export it in your profile. [05:50] Lock_drive_ , it is a .deb package ? [05:50] Hi guys, I would like to download the drivers for my NVIDIA GeForce 7, Would you mind telling me know how to do that please? === mike_ is now known as Guest83612 [05:51] I'll have to experiment with setting the default in the config file, I'm not quite ready for ubuntu to be my primary desktop yet :) [05:51] ilyekkakai: something like 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 will be fine, with the same netmask of 255.255.255.0 [05:51] How do I setup the interface on the Ubuntu side? [05:51] if we have extension .bin than ? === Tricia is now known as Guest16536 [05:51] deevz: you're doing fancy GPU stuff? [05:51] ilyekkakai: you can now communicate between the two using the IP addresses (as there is no DNS server) [05:51] .bin may be a disk image extension === Guest16536 is now known as Weretiger [05:52] Srsly is sudo reboot the only way to get out of alt f2? [05:52] Lock_drive_: mark it as executable and run it. If you are STILL on about googleearth then the whole command I agave you will make it work [05:52] Geo|Android: you mean you want to go back to an X session? [05:52] prince, im trying to get started with cuda [05:52] I want my gui back even if I don't have a mouse [05:52] Yessss please. [05:52] Geo|Android: ctrl-alt-f7 [05:52] timewriter: file extensions mean very little in linux [05:52] Oh you win at life [05:52] Bless you [05:52] im not deep into linux and programming in general, but I know a bit of java [05:52] Geo|Android: your X session runs at tty7 in ubuntu [05:52] ActionParsnip , indeed [05:53] Wat [05:53] which command [05:53] now im trying to learn linux and c to code in cuda, I need to do stuff that java would be too slow to do [05:53] thats why i said that it may be [05:53] Lock_drive_: are you trying to install googleearth still? [05:53] yup [05:53] anyway , im gonna play donkey kong country , right away [05:53] ActionParsnip, how do I configure the IP address on the Ubuntu side? At the moment when I put the plug in, the ubuntu network manager thing tries to automatically connect, then after a while fails. [05:53] Lock_drive_: i gave a big command earlier to download the .bin and install it, all you had to do was copy and paste it to terinal [05:53] if I want to play flash in firefox, which plugin should I choose? [05:54] ilyekkakai: use network manager [05:54] adobe, swfdec, or gnash? [05:54] dougb_freebsd: i'd go with the adobe one [05:54] deevz: install the one from the repositories. [05:54] this crap is so illegal [05:54] (which is from adobe) [05:54] if don't mind please send it to me once again [05:54] ok, thanks [05:54] Lock_drive_: jeez.....ok [05:54] you are all stealing from microsoft [05:55] prince_jammys, install what from the repos? [05:55] iherdsumthings: no trolling. [05:55] I am sorry to bother you [05:55] Lock_drive_: if you ask a question, in future do us all a favour and READ the replys [05:55] deevz: wrong nickname. [05:55] sure [05:55] iherdsumthings, you sir are funny [05:55] oh good, he left [05:55] s/he left, amazingly [05:56] debian ! http://www.youtube.com/robotsluvme#p/u/43/Bo0boGylJfY [05:56] is back [05:56] Lock_drive_: cd ~; wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin; chmod +x ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin; sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin; rm ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin [05:56] quickie-troll [05:56] Lock_drive_: copy all that and paste it to a terminal, it will then setup everything for you. I gave you the exact same command earlier [05:56] troll and run??? [05:57] would be nice if it were always like that. [05:57] wow gave it to you easy way [05:57] prince_jammys, is there a way to list all the env variables in my terminal? [05:57] Thank you very much Axtion..... [05:57] deevz: 'env' [05:57] dougb_freebsd: you can also change the filename numbering in /etc/grub.d to change boot order, like renaming 40_custom to 09_custom would put those entries before the ubuntu ones in 10_linux [05:57] Lock_drive_: use tab to complete nicks, its easier [05:57] hey does anyone know any free usenet or newsgroups i can get to ?? [05:57] how do u do that [05:58] thune3: yeah, that bit of the docs I actually understood, but thanks :) [05:58] So angry! [05:58] Ggrrrrr [05:58] actually I want to learn ubuntu like anything but I am not being able that is why I am asking you all the silly questions [05:59] hope you all guys won't mind [05:59] cool [05:59] Lock_drive_ , youre able to learn anything [05:59] I feel like linux must be very fun when you can use bash to its fullest potential [05:59] When I type stuff in ctrl alt f5 it says it can't open gui displays [05:59] so what are my chances of mounting a freebsd ufs partition in ubuntu? what I've read so far has not been encouraging [06:00] I'm using Lucid with two monitors and Ubuntu notifications are appearing on the right screen and I want the notifications to appear on my left screen for example when I'm using rhythmbox. IS it possible??? Tnx in advance :) [06:00] deevz: absolutely. some people will even tell you zsh/korn are more powerful than bash [06:00] MeXTuX , maybe on the dual screen configuration [06:00] for some reason using the tab to complete a name doesnt work in empathy?? [06:00] how do we learn about the terminal commands [06:01] Lock_drive_: man pages are a good start [06:01] you can set your left screen to be the main display , if not using clone [06:01] Lock_drive_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [06:01] ... or that [06:01] Lock_drive_ , i dont know , ubuntuguide.org maybe can help [06:01] I'm going to have to install winxp and I was really hoping to avoid that. [06:02] Geo|Android: just install a dual boot [06:02] why Xp [06:02] Is there no way to open a terminal window without a mouse so I can try to find the drivers for it? [06:02] Lock_drive_: check this: http://www.linux-books.us/ubuntu_0002.php [06:02] Geo|Android: alt-f2, and type 'xterm' [06:02] Lock_drive_: there are many many resources available! :) enjoy! [06:02] Dual boot still lands me with no mouse. [06:03] Lock_drive_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [06:03] ok [06:03] Thank god. I've been trying to do that for like 2 hours. [06:03] so I changed my mac address and got kicked off my home network for ARP spoofing [06:03] Geo|Android: what's going on?

I had to install something [06:07] i have a full wrathful doorf warrior [06:07] Ubuntu 5.10 is all I have lol [06:07] If I had a mouse I could reburn [06:07] yea, dwarf warrior, same here. sold it tho [06:07] Geo|Android , why not download the 10.04 [06:07] hi, somebody knows about this error unimplemented function msvcrt.dll ??

[06:10] no, I need to log out in particular for something [06:10] pp [06:10] Actionparsnip: I tried renaming the syntax on that particular code segment with no luck. [06:10] ActionParsnip, I found the solution - on Ubuntu go to Network Connections > Add > IPv4 Settings > Method Link-local only. Then get the IP address from terminal with ifconfig. Then on the imac configure a corresponding IP address on the ethernet interface. Plug in the crossover cable and the imac automatically appears under the Network folder on the Ubuntu machine - no further configuration required. [06:10] dougb_freebsd: no I havent [06:11] rj1: that'll probably do the trick, unless you can log into the router (like dd-wrt) and flush the arp cache [06:11] damn this 3G connection :( [06:11] ... but reboot is probably your best bet [06:11] Lemme read this terminal burning link......

[06:17] mae_tae: it uses UDP instead of TCP so there is no guarantee of delivery [06:17] oh nm, it was an O, not a zero [06:17] found it [06:17] deevz http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/AwOken+-+Awesome+Token+icon+set?content=126344 [06:17] i thought it was a zero , my mistake [06:18] sikun: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [06:18] hi folks, does Ubuntu 10.04 have a text install mode at all, these days? [06:18] sikun: did you check the CD for defects once initially booted to? [06:18] ActionParsnip, no, i didn't :( [06:18] i use them with Ambiance theme [06:18] sikun: then how do you know the iSO isn't bad????? [06:18] I guess I'll have a friend order a disc for me and I will be without a computer for months while I wait for the disc. [06:18] MrBIOS: you're looking for the 'Alternate CD' [06:19] MrBIOS , the alternative install cd [06:19] Thanks for the help [06:19] or the server [06:19] well not the iso is bad, the cds i'm using are bad is what i'm saying [06:19] wow, its a huge set of icons! [06:19] Hey guys; anyone experienced much with bash? I'm interested in launching an application (GNU Screen) whenever I open gnome-terminal - I added "screen" to my ~/.bashrc file earlier, but rather than doing what I hoped, it just kept creating new screen sessions. I tried an "exit 0" following the call to "screen" in the .bashrc but it didn't make a difference. Any ideas? [06:19] sikun , you can create a bootable USB drive [06:19] ah, thanks. Ye Olde "Alternative Lifestyle" Installre [06:19] * ActionParsnip uses elementary theme with a different background and the default decorator [06:20] timewriter, yeah, if i could find my flash drives.... just finished moving and can't find a single thing of mine [06:20] chu_: you'd want screen -r to reattach to a session [06:20] harsh [06:20] chu_, make your default profile screen [06:20] sikun: if you dont check the iso files, it could be a corrupted or incomplete download [06:20] i have an idea, type 'screen' [06:20] i always have a 4GB usb drive tied to my house keys [06:20] you never know when you need it [06:20] installing win7 on an intel ssd raid0 :D [06:21] AshDragon , i have the same [06:21] anyway [06:21] which raid drivers do you use? [06:21] maco, the problem is, I don't always detach a screen session before leaving the terminal, so I don't quite think that's what I'm after (though I did consider it earlier). [06:21] single SSD give better performance than RAID SSD === yermandu is now known as Guest14624 [06:21] i am having issues with my mouse usb input device. After variable times the device stops responding. [06:21] ilmenite: How does one go about that? I'm rather daft :) [06:21] Actionparsnip: I tried renaming the syntax on that particular code segment with no luck. [06:21] ActionParsnip, what do you mean? result of typing netstat -a | grep tftp is 0 0 *:tftp 0 [06:21] chu_: that's why you can just type 'screen' and move on with your merry life. [06:21] AshDragon , i was wrong , i dont have ssd , just WD sata drives [06:21] trust me. [06:21] i googled it for awhile, but the only drivers i found with trim support were the '06 MS ones. are there any better? @timewriter [06:21] is there a good guide for setting up neverwinter nights on lucid lynx? [06:21] how can a single ssd give more perfomance then raid timewriter === Guest14624 is now known as yermandu_ [06:22] does anyone know how to erase a corrupted file [06:22] There should be a terminal at the bottom of file browser, like it can be done in gedit... is there any way to do that? [06:22] unless there are no special steps required to get it to work [06:22] presario , its proven [06:22] feodor use play on linux [06:22] it tells me input output error [06:22] AshDragon , you need the Intel Rapid Storage Technology [06:22] prince_jammys: Yeah, but it's tedious to type screen everytime I start a terminal session. I know this has to be possible. [06:22] without formating the drive [06:22] presario, eh? [06:22] presario , raid arrays are different with SSds [06:22] chu_: and you _will_ get upset when you chose to open a term without really wanting to run scren. [06:22] *screen [06:22] um timewriter have u not seen samsungs 6 TB 24 ssd raid setup that transfers 2gigaflops/s [06:23] listen to the voice of reason! :) === ToAsTcfh is now known as ToAsTcfhzzZZzzZZ [06:23] no , i cant afford it [06:23] presario, play is for playing sound. what are you talking about ? [06:23] or did you not mean the command [06:23] i'm using a 780i evga mobo which has native raid support. i'd prefer to get a raid controller, but meh. i'm doing with with what i have atm. @ typewriter [06:23] Does anyone know how to erase a corrupted file [06:23] I just installed 10.04 a few weeks ago (first Linux for me) and have been having issues with Compiz ever since, and it seems to be getting worse recently. Every once in a while, at seemingly random times, everything on my screen freezes up except for my mouse (well, it doesn't freeze, I get something like 1 frame every 3 seconds). To fix it, I have to open terminal, kill compiz, and restart it. Sometimes this can start happening every [06:23] timewriter if you beleave so [06:23] prince_jammys: Nah, I always want to run screen :) [06:23] play on linux [06:23] its saying input output error [06:23] AshDragon , doesnt that mobo use a Nforce controller ? [06:23] Actionscript, so how do i solve it? [06:23] feodor play on linux [06:23] mae_tae: the packet got lost as it uses UDP which does not have all the extra functionality of TCP but is faster as it has less overhead [06:23] How can I tell which kernel version I am running? === ToAsTcfhzzZZzzZZ is now known as ToAsTcfh [06:24] timewriter: http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/?action=view¤t=Screenshot.png ;) [06:24] StepNjump: uname -a [06:24] tnx [06:24] chu_: then do what i do, have a term open full-time, running screen, in a workspace, and set that to start at startup. [06:24] typewriter: yes, but you can swap drivers from within win7 to the MS ones that support trim, which is what i'm going to do. [06:24] Anyone here use SeaMonkey 2.0.6? For some reason if I so much as look at it wrong it crashes [06:24] Does anyone know how to erase a corrupted file when it says input output error [06:24] i am having issues with my mouse usb input device. After variable times the device stops responding. [06:24] Actionparsnip: I tried renaming the syntax on that particular code segment with no luck. [06:24] without formating drive [06:24] presario , i got 3GB/sec transfer on my raid 0 sata raid [06:24] chu_: but i _do_ type 'screen' the *first* time, and never close it. [06:24] ActionParsnip, so what do you suggest? how will i fix? what config file will i modify? [06:25] ActionParsnip , its opening [06:25] and do u really think you would get that with only 1 ssd drive [06:25] way better [06:26] what does a single drive data transfer at then timewriter [06:26] but i cant afford to buy SSD yet [06:26] prince_jammys: But even that first time is tedious! [06:26] chu_: hehehe [06:26] bigfishy: not that i can help, but what kind of mouse is it? ps2/usb/usb-bluetooth/bluetooth? [06:26] maco I did a apt-get install on inux-headers-2.6.32-21 2.6.32-21.32 [06:26] and just found out it should have been a different version I should have installed. How could I uninstall the current version please? [06:26] timewriter u have never had a ssd drive [06:26] can I exit X and still access a terminal to install a video driver? [06:26] presario , you can check the charts and do a comparison , using HDDtach [06:26] chu_: problem is that screen may already be running, maybe more than one [06:26] ActionParsnip , i use the same decorator , but with awoken icons [06:26] the intel ssd drives are 3gb/s individually. if you have two and the i/o requests are sent to separate drives, that should be a 100% improvement; of course with misaligns where the data is on separate drives, the performace goes down, but the overall should be substantially higher than a single drive. on paper this should work perfectly, in practice.. i'll see in a few days. [06:27] sorry.. linux-headers-2.6.32-21 2.6.32-21.32 [06:27] presario , no , but i read articles [06:27] practice is different :) [06:27] Guys, how could I uninstall file: linux-headers-2.6.32-21? [06:27] thune3: its a usb mouse [06:27] its also a matter of the raid controller [06:28] true; but even with a crappy one, it should be a performance improvement. especially with a high stripe size [06:28] StepNjump , apt-get autoremove may fix it [06:28] performance is better with smaller strip size [06:28] like 64kb better than 128kb [06:28] StepNjump: sudo apt-get install headers-2.6.32-21-generic [06:28] on raid 0 [06:28] StepNjump: oops [06:28] chu_: folks at #screen may assist you with magic to deal with different screenish scenarios. [06:29] prince_jammys: Cheers [06:29] StepNjump: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic === kuroi_ is now known as rockhopper [06:29] he wants to remove them :) [06:29] ActionParsnip so I just install the correct one on top of the wrong one? [06:29] mae_tae: use ftp instead of tftp and it will use TCP and give guaranteed delivery once the connection is made [06:29] ActionParsnip , didnt see the awn-dock [06:29] larger, not smaller; the smaller stripe size means data is read and written to/from both drives; you want to maximize the number of i/o requests that get data from a single drive, meaning the drives cann work independantly on separate queued requests. if they're both working on the same request, there's much less of a performance improvement. [06:30] !ot [06:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:30] timewriter: yeah i'm lazt, thats all the apps I ever used so figued I may aswell [06:30] Anyone here use SeaMonkey 2.0.6? For some reason if I so much as look at it wrong it crashes. The only addons I've got are Adblock plus, better privacy and optimize google [06:30] AshDragon , i did 2 tests on same drives , first 64kb , second 128 [06:30] ok, what i am trying to ask... is, currently i have two ubuntu cds i have burned that will not work, one will get me to the live enviroment but will not install, i do not have any flash drives, can i do a net install from a live boot? [06:30] ActionParsnip: My kernel version is 2.6.32-24 41 [06:30] 64 kb was faster [06:30] timewriter, AshDragon please take hardware chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:30] So do I need to uninstall the one I installed in error first? [06:30] so...I want debian, but I'm lazy. What will I gain/lose from using Ubuntu and stripping down the features? (i.e. gwibber, make my own themes, etc, etc. basically use Ubuntu as a Debian installer...) [06:31] StepNjump: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-24-generic linux-headers-generic [06:31] i'm done :) @ bazhang [06:31] Ahhh, can't send to #screen :( [06:31] Can someone please tell me how to find out how much ram I have? [06:31] SomethingElse: free -m [06:31] jamie__: Get the alternate CD, it uses debian-installer (and will save you the effort of having to strip stuff out) [06:31] thanks [06:31] bazhang , ok [06:31] ActionParsnip thanks! [06:31] jamie__: you may install ubuntu from the alternate/minimal cd. [06:31] ActionParsnip, i see, actually what im trying to do is implement that THIN client, the client side is actually recieve already its DHCP IP but have an error in TFTP - File Not Found [06:31] Flannel: really? [06:31] jamie__: you can use ubuntu minimal if you wish and build up [06:31] jamie__: Yes. [06:31] i am having issues with my mouse usb input device. After variable times the device stops responding. [06:32] mae_tae: then i'd look at the config of the pxe server [06:32] Ubuntu minimal is awesome! Just so people that are thinking about using it know ;) [06:32] jamie__: though this is very similar to installing debian from a netinstall, so if you're lazy ... [06:32] jamie__: by default it installs a full desktop, but if you choose a "command line" install, you'll just install a base system [06:32] flannel: will anything be missing? Will it have Gnome, etc? [06:32] bigfishy: when it drops press CTRL+ALT+T and run: dmesg | tail it will give clues [06:32] Roky, ubuntu minimal or minimal install cd? [06:32] Flannel: nm I type slow lol [06:33] jamie__: You choose what you want. [06:33] jamie__: You can install gnome afterwards from the repositories, of course. [06:33] bigfishy: the only thing i know along those lines, is that some devices have problems with usb suspend. you could try disabling it for all devices (as a test), and if it works then disable it on mouse only later. sudo bash -c 'echo "-1" > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend' [06:33] coz_: minimal install cd. [06:33] Roky, yes I agree [06:33] bigfishy: make sure the usb is set to legacy, this can help usb mice and keyboards [06:33] flannel: is it much/any different from a Debian netinstall? [06:33] I would like to use a USB key as the swap file. Is that easy to do? [06:33] the ncurses based synaptic app is sweet. [06:33] SomethingElse: free -m [06:34] actionparsnip: i will save a log of those clues thank you [06:34] jamie__: it uses debian-installer. Alternate CD doesn't need the internet, minimal CD does (same installer, one has packages on the CD, the other doesn't and needs the internet to download them) [06:34] SomethingElse: sure, just partition and format it as swap then add it in fstab as your swap space [06:34] ActionParsnip: I get this error message when I attempt to install the correct package: /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission non accordée) [06:34] permission not granted [06:34] Roky: aptitude>apt-get as well - keep that in mind ;-) [06:34] StepNjump: do you have software centre open? [06:34] jamie__: both are equally good [06:34] I can do that [06:34] SomethingElse: my usb flash drive has random write performance in the 20kB/s range, i would NEVER consider it for flash duty with that performance [06:34] jamie__: that's what s/he meant by the "ncurses synaptic", aptitude. [06:34] StepNjump: no, its a question, do you have it running? [06:35] oh [06:35] you are right [06:35] I were [06:35] hum [06:35] StepNjump: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:35] StepNjump: thats why then, the software centre was locking the packages [06:35] Flannel: Will I end up with a basic Ubuntu or will I end up with basic Debian though? (debian seems to not like my graphics card.... can't even login once installed) [06:35] SomethingElse: *for swap duty [06:35] k [06:35] jamie__: Ubuntu. [06:35] my system is running so slow now for some reason.. I'm sure its becasue the main HD is full all the time.. I was thinking that would fix it.. [06:36] prince_jammys: lol oopses - I meant also that "sudo aptitude install foo" > "sudo apt-get install foo" [06:36] SomethingElse, how big is the hard drive and what do you have on it ? [06:36] jamie__: can't argue with that [06:36] Flannel: Thanks for the help! Only took me 3 minutes to get the info off this channel! I'll definitely be back here! [06:36] SomethingElse: remove old kernels, remove ubuntu-docs (if you never use it (likely)), remove openoffice and install abiword if you only use writer [06:37] that drive is 200 gig.. and I use it as the down load drive.. [06:37] jamie__: Both really esentually do the same thing. And it is a base of ubuntu. But if you have installed debian, you will recognize some things and the default wallpaper if you install the gnome-base ;) [06:37] ActionParsnip, actually when i type tftp localhost it returns tftp> (console) but when i type get test.txt example, it return transfer timed out === administrator is now known as Guest31299 [06:37] SomethingElse, ActionParsnip 's suggest is valid and wouldnt it be more efficient to back up some of that stuff onto that flash drive? [06:37] But the core still remains ubuntu. [06:37] mae_tae: then you have isolatedthe issue some.I havent setup a pxe server but there are docs around for it, or maybe someone else can contribute [06:37] ****Thank you all who answered my question(s)! Fastest help on IRC I've ever seen! Thanks, and props :-D**** [06:37] I still don't use it because I can [06:38] can't seem to get sound working for it on my laptop. Only one thats ever worked has been arch :x [06:38] Roky: tell us your specs, and /msg ubottu sound [06:38] swfdec vs gnash vs adobe. which is currently superiour ? [06:39] ActionParsnip: How can I tell which version of linux-restricted-modules I am running? [06:39] feodor: likely adobe's. you can install via repositories. [06:39] feodor: I just asked that question and adobe was recommended, which seems to be working fine [06:39] hmm ok [06:39] !flash [06:39] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:39] SomethingElse: you can also run bleachbit as user and as root (close as many apps as you can to increase effectiveness, miss the commands which say they will take a long time and watch the browser settings or it'll clean settings you want to keep) [06:39] from the download drive I then sort stuff to the other drive.. I guess I could move the downloads to it, but I kinda like forcing myself to have to sort stuff to get it off the download drive.. my other drive is 11 TB.. :-) [06:39] prince_jammys: give me about 25 min to reinstall it on the laptop? :D or will you be here tomorrow? hehe, I would love to try it. [06:39] feodor: see what ubottu said. [06:39] ActionParsnip: Greetings again. I have determined that the pen has to be out for the touchscreen to work, and I see plenty of output when doing 'cat /dev/ttyS0' so it seems it is internally serial. How can I turn this into a touchscreen then? [06:40] ActionParsnip , you might like this http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Faenza?content=128143 [06:40] StepNjump: dpkg -l | grep modules | grep restr [06:40] prince_jammys, I asked which flash plugin is more stable not how to install it [06:40] timewriter: saw that, makes your desktop look like a crappy ipod, no thanks [06:40] feodor: how silly of me to assume that you'd want to install it. [06:41] hello i'm having trobles cconverting some videos this is the type: MPEG-2 transport stream (video/mp2t) [06:41] well , you already have the dock :) [06:41] looking for the Ubuntu version of "Remote Desktop Connection" in windows. Places > Connect to Server give me lots of options, but which one? [06:41] OvermindDL1: not sure, i've never used one [06:41] feodor just install plugins thru firefox and use adobe [06:41] eny help ? [06:41] is there anyway I can limit the size of a dir? [06:41] Anyone else might know how to get a touchscreen on a tablet working in Ubuntu through /dev/ttyS0 on a Gateway tablet. [06:42] SomethingElse: 16Tb [06:42] can not convert: MPEG-2 transport stream (video/mp2t) [06:42] ActionParsnip: Sweet!! [06:43] SomethingElse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 [06:44] Difference between LINUX and WINDHOES......you actually want updates from linux!!!! [06:45] Tempus_Fugit: why do you want updates? [06:45] because its not cracked and you dont get any "advantages from microsoft" [06:45] you generally don't have to supply your passport and blood-type to get an update in linux. [06:45] ":) [06:45] ActionParsnip , i know a lot of windows users that are affraid to update windows [06:45] Tempus_Fugit, I prefer Linuxhoes too [06:46] timewriter: i just kick em in. [06:46] Ok, this is going to make me seem really stupid, but how to I reply to someone without PMing them? [06:46] !tab [06:46] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [06:46] Some_Person, like this? [06:46] SomethingElse: type 'prin', for example. [06:46] does anyone have ubuntu running successfully on a laptop using the dell 1520 wireless mini half-card? [06:46] Bah. Stupid bash [06:47] Ohhhh... ok.. thanks.. [06:47] ElTimo: can you run: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product what is the product line for the wireless [06:47] ActionParsnip .....I am saying you want updates in linux cuz usually linux updates make things better....WINHOES updates make things worse...as in consuming more mem and resources to slow down your system...so you go out and buy the next episode of a crappy system [06:47] ActionParsnip: I actually can't right now. I'm on windows because that's the only way I can get wireless [06:48] Tempus_Fugit: Call it "Windows", please. Deliberate misspellings reflect more on you than on Windows. [06:48] Tempus_Fugit: ive seen people have tonnes of issues with upgrades, sound going on the frits, no x server due to failed dkms on proprietary drivers... [06:48] ElTimo: i suggest you use a wired connection and get updated [06:48] ElTimo: you may also be offered the driver [06:48] upgrades are scary in any OS, tbh. [06:49] ActionParsnip: I don't have a wired connection available to me. and I have the driver installed. networkmanager says that wireless is disabled, and doesn't give me an option to reenable it [06:49] im not affraid of updates [06:49] rww: sorry you feel that way but i kinda get the feeling if more people on the planet knew there was a better alternative alot less people would be using "windows" [06:49] ElTimo: i recommend you use one. routers have 4 connectors on the back you can easily use [06:49] #ubuntu-offtopic is the venue. [06:49] Tempus_Fugit: I imagine you're right. No need to harm Ubuntu advocacy by making yourself sound silly. [06:50] Tempus_Fugit: it's not that bad, if you look beforehand, you can avoid installing 'genuine' stuff [06:50] y made upgrade o lucid and i was without internet my wireless card i thoght lucid does not support it [06:50] I have a win machine too and didn't have any problems with it [06:50] yes I am a n00b but so far all my linux updates have made things better..I.e flash and codecs to make things work the way they should!! [06:50] but i just have to selct it [06:50] Anyone here use SeaMonkey 2.0.6? For some reason if I so much as look at it wrong it crashes. The only addons I've got are Adblock plus, better privacy and optimize google [06:51] ActionParsnip: I leech off my neighbor's wifi. it would probably be kind of awkward to knock on their door at 2 in the morning asking if I can plug my laptop into their router :P [06:51] ElTimo: give it a try. [06:51] hey [06:51] Thanks everyone for your help.. I'm off to see if I can understand this link I've been sent.. [06:51] actually I think they're on vacation... [06:52] ElTimo: do they have a guard dog? [06:52] prince_jammys: if you count a yorkie as a guard dog, then yes [06:52] I'm just not very good at picking locks [06:52] ElTimo: nice, then you may have an issue, if its one of those cheap broadcom 43xx things (probably is, dell are pretty cheap) then the driver is on the live CD too) [06:53] Hey folks... i was wondering if anyone knew of a good standalone Calendar for ubuntu (not by Mozilla). [06:53] ElTimo: otherwise you will need a connection to download stuff [06:53] ActionParsnip: wireless worked when I first installed, but once I updated the kernel it went kaput [06:54] ElTimo: boot to the old kernel and see what makes it work, then transfer settings to the new === TrumpCard is now known as spopescu [06:54] lophted: Google Calendar? [06:54] ActionParsnip: also, rfkill says that eth1 is hard blocked, which I assume means that it thinks the switch is turned off [06:54] lophted: qOrganizer maybe [06:54] lophted: I just click the one where the clock is in the top panel. it opens to a calender. but maybe you want more. [06:55] lophted: rednotebook prism-google-calendar [06:55] brb I'm going to play around with it a little [06:55] mneptok: Thanks, but isn't Google's dependant on the cloud? I wanted to use something you could install. [06:55] lophted: do you also have apache installed ? if so, maybe you should check also webcalendar [06:55] lophted: when [06:56] !info when [06:56] when (source: when): tiny personal calendar. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.12-1 (lucid), package size 41 kB, installed size 164 kB [06:56] ActionParsnip: Thanks. I'll check it out [06:56] umc: thanks. Looking for something desktop based. [06:58] ActionParsnip: Thanks again. Will look into those. [06:59] lophted: own a cell phone? if so, what model? [07:00] lophted: Google Mobile App may be available for it. so if you have a data plan, you'll want to use GCal. ;) [07:01] ssadaa [07:01] mneptok: thanks again. Like i said, i'm looking for something Desktop based. I appreciate the input. [07:01] Why there is stated "Not recommended for daily desktop usage" beside 64-bit desktop ubuntu image download link?? [07:02] is it a problem if grub always starts up [07:02] I use it happily as a desktop for.. several years on 64bit [07:02] and especially now, I have no as of any problem at all [07:02] netbkneutrino1: no, that's normal. [07:02] because probably some people don't know if they have 32 bit or 64bit nikolam [07:02] which high end graphics are the best for *nix, ati or nvidia? [07:02] hello world [07:02] thanks prince jammys [07:03] and 32 works on all machines, vice-versa not always [07:03] umc, that does not sound as good answer. They sure will discover if 64bit disc does not work and they will realize that they made mistake not distro. [07:03] nikolam: i believe the reason 64bit is not recommended for daily desktop usage is because proprietary flash is not officially supported on the 64bit version of ubuntu. [07:03] crazy, I've never had problems with ati, can't speak on nvidias behalf [07:04] nikolam: ever use google earth, a canon printer, skype , ruby watir? the list goes on that don't support 64bit yet. I lived with it for 2 years. without more than 2gig don't bother. [07:04] I was curious about that as well ... is the 64-bit version generally safe? I have a core 2 duo and 64 bit windows works fine [07:04] lophted, that also is not good reason, since I use 64bit flash, like.. for a long time now and it is there automatically and.. working rather well, too [07:05] sacarlson, yes, I use skype on 64bit for a LONG time, google earth, too, ever since 10.04 i used it on 64bit without problem.. [07:05] And beside list, I AM using it with no problems.. [07:05] nikolam: Check your version of the driver you have. [07:05] lophted, what driver you are reffering to? [07:06] nikolam: that's only one of the many that are starting to support 64bit they still don't all support it. I'm sure there will be a day when they all do but just not yet. [07:06] I am thinking, memory is VERY cheap now. People are going outside shops with machines that have 4GB+ ram these days. Telling people it is not OK to use 64bit Ubuntu is ridiculous [07:06] nikolam: i'm sorry i meant plug-in. In all likelyhood, you have the proprietary version of the flash 32bit plug-in, which works fine with 64bit ubuntu. [07:07] lophted, nope, you are wrong. there IS 64bit flash [07:07] for linux at least [07:07] nikolam: they also have kernels now that support 4gig+ with 32bit [07:07] nikolam: adobe killed it [07:07] But nevermind, it works well thats my point [07:07] nikolam: they discontinued it because they're lazy [07:07] nikolam: the last version is from before a major security update [07:07] nikolam: i never said there wasn't a 64bit version of the plug-in. [07:08] nikolam: well take a look at the long list of people 1000's with just the problem of no canon printer. that alone is enuf for me. [07:08] nikolam: i said you most likely have the 32bit version. The 64bit version is at what stage of development? [07:08] and 64bit linux had always edge over windblows, etc. Point is. 64bit works VERY well for Years for me and I see absolutely no reason to fear people === Weretiger is now known as Tricia [07:08] lophted: 64bit flash was alpha, maybe beta, and was killed. a few weeks later a new version of flash 10 came out that fixed a major security vulnerability === tomas-_ is now known as tomas-_|away [07:09] sacarlson, like, I don't care at all about Canon if they don't want to support their hardware.. their choice and I also don't think that support for one manufacturer of printers is valid reason for scaring people of Good-working 64-bit Ubuntu for desktop [07:09] OK. Will not push further. i think still there is no valid reason not to use 64 bit on recent machines, when memory is so cheap === alex88[away] is now known as alex88 [07:10] lophted, i used 64bit for years now. [07:10] nikolam: so have I [07:12] and yes, flash is no valid reason not to use 64bit ubuntu. === tomas-_|away is now known as tomas-_ [07:13] nikolam: I had 32bit flash running in 64bit with the 32bit libs no problem only took 2 extra hours to install. [07:14] Hi Ubuntu Gurus. I try to install gnome desktop and I get: Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed. Then I install swfdec-mozilla, try to install Gnome and I get: Depends: epiphany-extensions but it is not going to be installed. I, then, install epiphany-extensions and I get: Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed. This endless loop is frustrating. I just want Gnome. Any insight? [07:14] whats up [07:15] i have 100+ linked html webpages locally on my computer.. can FF print them all in order? [07:15] has anyone else tried the new 3.0 gnome-shell and have it configured so that I might see a screen shot of what is possible?? [07:15] VegasMike: how are you installing gnome? [07:15] itsux2bu: you can export them into html and print that in openoffice [07:15] sacarlson, i think it took me no time at all and that I ahd it installed from medibuntu or whatever, right after install [07:16] Synoptic package manager === unnamed is now known as Guest21093 [07:16] VegasMike: what package? [07:16] nikolam: most these people aren't experts like you [07:16] sacarlson, they are already html [07:16] nikolam: including myself [07:16] I mark gnome etc. [07:16] itsux2bu: then open it in openoffice and try printing it [07:16] VegasMike: sounds not right, but the usual way to install gnome is by installing 'ubuntu-desktop' [07:17] sacarlson, I think regular user should not be an expert to add repository, and click search for installing apps. That is actually basic functionality i suppose, everyone get used to under Ubuntu desktop, sooner or later when he/she wants more apps. [07:18] Looked for ubuntu desktop... didn't see it in synaptic [07:18] nikolam: is medibuntu enven releated to ubuntu? I think they are like ubuntu and debian different [07:18] !info ubuntu-desktop [07:18] ubuntu-desktop (source: ubuntu-meta): The Ubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.197 (lucid), package size 31 kB, installed size 60 kB [07:18] VegasMike: look again [07:19] sacarlson, well, yes, but also it is So easy to add and use it. It is best to be in separate repo. [07:19] ok... hold... [07:19] nikolam: well I could go ahead and start mixing my repository with debian then and hope that won't cause any problems [07:20] nikolam: what do I do when I upgrade? === vaibhav1 is now known as Koalabear [07:20] sacarlson, that is not mixing with debian. who told you that. Everu repo and PPA I added is strictly for Ubuntu version I use. Medibuntu , Getdeb and all PPA and other sources, too [07:21] nikolam: ppa is where I started getting my original upgrade problems. that's why I asked. [07:21] Only have ubuntu-xen-desktop... using netbook edition of Ubuntu [07:21] sacarlson, nothing, usually you remove packages from, like getdeb when upgrading and re-add them later. rest of them are there to stay and need mostly no intervention. If you are also on LTS for long installation, some people even stay on LTS for some time and they are happy [07:21] nikolam, what is Getdeb? [07:22] zzzed_: a third party source of debs that have not been reviewed by ubuntu developers [07:22] zzzed_, repo /site with newer apps for current ubuntu releases, see #getdeb (getdeb.net) [07:22] nikolam: wow easy for the experts. but poor not so smart people like me give up and reinstall and loose stuf. but that's just me. [07:22] good evening [07:22] thx all [07:23] Thanks for helping Prince [07:23] sacarlson, anyway, If one have new machine he should use 64bit and thats it. [07:23] how do i start up compiz? [07:23] VegasMike: welcome. i don't know about netbook remix [07:24] so I'm poking around in the gnome menus, and under Applications > Other there are a bunch of my windows apps [07:24] shawn146, eve searched synaptic with the word `compiz`? :) [07:24] S'ok. You're cool [07:24] but when I click them, I get at thing in the taskbar that says "Starting foo" but then it dies [07:24] no windows ever open (pardon the pun) [07:25] Seen alot about this bug online but no successful solutions [07:25] shawn146, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion [07:25] i already isntalled it with terminal [07:25] sudo apt-get install compiz [07:26] ! compiz | shawn146 [07:26] shawn146: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [07:29] how to install opera on ubuntu [07:30] abhinav_singh: go to opera.com and download it [07:30] after that xangua: [07:30] install it [07:30] double clic in the .deb file [07:31] ok xangua: i am downloading it [07:31] abhinav_singh: google for and you'll get plenty of guides.

[07:36] Koalabear: you can setup wireshark to do that but I'm sure there are others [07:36] I think I set up my LD_LIBRARY_PATH wrong, because ld cant find some of my libs, how do I define my variable correctly? [07:37] sacarlson: yes right now am using wireshark but am looking for application like itrans... [07:38] Koalabear: I looked up itrans and it seems to be a language translator. [07:40] Koalabear: maybe iftop [07:40] 什么东西哦？ [07:40] !cn | ylmf [07:40] ylmf: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [07:42] sacarlson: mybad, i was saying like htop , it can show what process hogging how much CPU, I want like that what port is using how much data transfer..

[07:48] on a toshiba [07:48] xp time [07:51] Anyone know if there is a Evolution Chat and if so what is the irc? [07:51] shawn146: you would have to lookup the values returned from lspci or lshw to lookup supported devices in ubuntu.

I have it running on 10.04 ok [08:01] a ati cad will only output 60% of its real power in linux [08:02] a nvidia will output 80% of its true power under linux [08:02] at present [08:02] sacarlson, no it is NOT virtualbox. Pay attention to what is said. Virtual Machine manager is GUI for qemu/kvm native Linux virtualization solution. [08:03] I'm trying to reset Evolution to its factory defaults, including deleting all email accounts, but no matter what folders I delete I can't seem to reset it to its initial state.

[08:07] I dont want to change my system just read email's [08:07] *zbuffer [08:08] So is there any difference between a minimal Ubuntu install and Debian (Lenny, Squeeze, whatever 10.04 is based on)? [08:08] from between the top of the window and the file, edit bar [08:08] shawn146 read pm [08:09] Guys, I had my NVIDIA drivers installed and everything worked great then I wanted to get the cube. Found on a website I had to do some apt-get install on something like compiz then i lost part of my windows. When I rebooted, my system would only boot up in bash, no more X. I know in Linux there is no system restore. Not knowing what I did exactly to crash my system, is there a way to revert back to the original drivers I used to use for ub [08:09] untu that came pre-installed? I can't even remember which bash command I issued now that the computer is down [08:09] I'm trying to install using a USB drive.... [08:09] I already downloaded the file. Do I need to run the Universal USB Installer's download function? [08:09] Hi all [08:10] I need some help with wxWidgets on codelite [08:10] It's kind of lame. Step 1, download. Step 2, download again and install.... I should read all the steps, first, next time. :> [08:10] jellow, I ended up apt-get purge-ing evolution from my system, then reinstalling it. That seems like it did the trick. [08:10] any knowledge on min install and deb netinstall diff? [08:11] TheMusicGuy: aptitude>apt-get every time. [08:11] My wxString assignments throw an error saying 'use of = operator is ambiguous' - any help [08:11] Eksra, why? [08:12] Whats the command to show the channels [08:12] ncurses based, gives more information, has more flags available. More robust, and probably more stable [08:12] TerrenceKJ: first of all, totally wrong channel. secondly, wxWidgets is fucking evil. thirdly, it's because you're assigning a string on the rhs and wx isn't sure how to cast it. Explicitly cast it for wx. [08:13] TerrenceKJ , /list [08:13] Eksra, kind of unnecessary if you already know exactly what package names you want and what you want to do with them. [08:13] TheMusicGuy: old habits die hard, I suppose :-) Aptitude has been around for, what, 15 years now? [08:14] emacs has been around longer than me. But I still don't use it. :) [08:14] Okay, just gonna throw this question out there because googling is gaining me nothing. [08:15] TheMusicGuy: hehe some actually have legit reason to use emacs over vi/vim, but I see your point. When was Emacs released, anyway? [08:15] a [08:15] I'm installing ubuntu off a USB drive (Universal USB creator). I'm putting it on my netbook. Boots and installs okay.

Any difference???*** [08:16] I'm just saying, there's no point mucking around in menus of any kind, whether graphical or terminal-based, if you can just type exactly what it is you want to do. [08:16] hi [08:16] hi [08:16] Menus are for when you _don't_ know exactly what you want. [08:16] TheMusicGuy: I know, I just type "sudo aptitude install foo" or "sudo aptitude update/upgrade" etc. [08:16] i hare menus [08:16] im having something funny going on my ubuntu server [08:16] *hate [08:17] rums sounds like the xorg is not configuring [08:17] everytime i try to do something i get an error message saying "a read only file system" [08:17] i googled with no luck [08:17] uncle_sin then why do you use X server? [08:17] whats chmod -R ? [08:18] Eksra, also, I want to say emacs has been around for about ~40 years, but I'm probably wrong about that. [08:18] thanks Timewriter [08:18] timewriter: thanks [08:18] TerrenceKJ , youre welcome , but what for ? [08:18] when i deal with programmes that need X [08:18] any thoughts on my completely blank boot?

[08:19] themusicguy: hmmm... that's around the time my mother was working on the VR training for what was *then* the M1X Abrahms tank for the Army (X was bc it was x-perimental at the time ;-) [08:19] more like a new operating system :) [08:19] Rums: but it worked in try mode from the usb boot disk?

[08:22] No, I mean the HP splash screen. For the laptop. [08:22] they're not responding [08:22] Yea, USB is removed [08:22] Rums: oh the bios screen [08:22] uncle_sin: Wow, for someone who hates menus, you used Kubuntu???? lmao. noob. and @timewriter +1 gnome=ftw. [08:22] Yea, sorry. No grub [08:22] Is there another way to start it in safe mode? [08:22] So NOBODY can help me with the install differences? Alot of info in this room. I'll be sure to be back. Thanks, useless. [08:22] acid: if filesystem errors are encountered, your system may be set to drop to read only. You can check the logs. You might need an fsck [08:23] Eksra , thanks for calling me a noob . [08:23] !noob | Eksra [08:23] Eksra: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.

I like XMonad. [08:23] thune3, i did fsck -y /dev/sda1 [08:23] psilo2: xmonad++ [08:23] i apologize [08:23] Eksra: There are differences, yes. [08:23] and waiting for the results [08:23] firefox in ubuntu 10.04 always crash [08:23] Okay, I'll go back into the USB, one second. [08:24] after update firefox, it still happen [08:24] uncle_sin: you can start up the plasma-desktop by running that command in your terminal [08:24] thune3, but what causes this kind of error regularly ? [08:24] What were you doing to make it crash? [08:24] Rums: oh and did you change the bios to boot from a different location? if so put it back to boot default for /def/sda [08:24] uncle_sin: alt+f2 (krunner) should still work after plasma-desktop or plasma-netbook crashes too [08:24] This channel has a stifling official policy, I have to say. [08:24] Ok, everybody flame Eksra after people use the work "fuck" in the room, for calling someone out on saying their KDE crashed after they said they don't use DEs. I guess that'll teach me to try Ubuntu lol. I just wanted Aptitude. Oh well. [08:24] psilo2, please stay on topic [08:25] Exactly. [08:25] Eksra: watch your langauge [08:25] I think we'd be a lot better off without ubottt. [08:25] Wow. This is intense. [08:25] maco: scroll up and read other peoples writing before telling me off. [08:25] acid: sometimes it's random, sometimes it's that a series of unclean mounts without automatic fsck takes its toll, sometimes its a hardware connection/power problem. [08:25] Eksra: im seeing misbehaviour right now, so im saying something right now [08:25] bazhang doesn't even contribute anything, he just waits vigilantly for someone to go off topic and then sics a bot on us [08:26] psilo2: bazhang and i are both ops [08:26] ohh so its nothing to worry about [08:26] maco: ok?

Explicitly cast it for wx." [08:27] Rums: if it's not installed yes [08:27] AshDragon: i have ftp installed [08:27] Hello, how do I know the whether my device sound uses ALSA or PulseAudio? [08:27] mneptok: trolls go. spam goes. everything else stays. It works for every other channel in history. [08:27] Rums , i guess you have to boot the live cd [08:28] AshDragon: ftp works locally on that PC. when i try to download from a remote pc. it does not work === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke [08:28] Eksra: yes, if you see someone swear, feel free to tell them off or call the pos [08:28] *ops [08:28] can they ping eachother? [08:28] psilo2: go ask Linux questions in ##windows and see if your sentiment is true. [08:28] No, I restarted it a third time and manually selected the hard drive, and it booted, but I know it was going this before because I did this on the first boot. Not sure what's going on. [08:28] Forget the useful info I provided. I said a naughy word! [08:28] AshDragon: yes [08:28] i'm installing from the ubuntu minimal CD. what do i need to install besides "gnome-core" to be able to boot into the gui? [08:29] AshDragon: i get connection time out === MichealH is now known as Guest34964 [08:29] does the ftp have proper rights to the files? [08:29] mneptok: "off-topic" exists on a sliding scale. [08:29] how can i check that? [08:29] psilo2: Please take non-support discussions to #ubuntu-offtopic. This channel is purely for Ubuntu support. [08:29] pie_time , it may be ubuntu-desktop [08:29] and also xorg [08:29] windows and linux are antithetical [08:29] i can do a local transfer using ftp [08:29] first xorg [08:29] Rums: I think there is also sudo grub-install /dev/sdX X being the disk number [08:29] hm. [08:29] then bring the ubuntu-desktop === Guest34964 is now known as MichealH [08:29] Flannel: I am discussing the channel itself. There cannot be any better forum. [08:30] psilo2: you're now officially "off-topic" for this channel. [08:30] This channel it utterly broken. [08:30] psilo2: There is, it is #ubuntu-offtopic. [08:30] Flannel: or -ops for discussing policies [08:30] I aggre psilo2 [08:30] the moderaters are lame [08:30] Someone kick me again I have better channels to help. [08:30] and next time someone has that wx question [08:30] AshDragon: any ideas? [08:30] dont go psilo2 [08:31] presario, please stop [08:31] I want to remove gedit from ubuntu. I don't care that I won't have a notepad-ihs editor. vim is all I ever needed. ubuntu-desktop relies on it. How do I do this (without removing ubuntu-desktop?)? [08:31] Well, psilo2, myself, and TheMusicGuy are not welcome here. Flannel is a good guy - I've seen him before, and helpful. Too bad he's not in charge here. I feel like Vanilla WoW in the Barrens General chat...... I'll be leaving now. This has been a wonderful waste of my time. Thanks for nothing guys. Enjoy your **noob** distro. If you don't want a DE, then get slack sans kde or LFS/Arch for that matter. [08:31] not right off. can you view the ftp log and see if the remote system actually connects? [08:31] Ah, I see. [08:31] presario: Once again, this channel is for Ubuntu technical support. If you'd like to discuss the channel itself, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic. Thank you for your help in keeping this channel useful. [08:31] you asked me nicely bazhang why do u want me to stop [08:31] it could be an authentication issue [08:31] 'twas auto-selecting the download. [08:31] industrial, sage to remove its a metapackage [08:31] 'twas. [08:31] peace be with you. [08:31] Baibai. sankyu. [08:31] industrial, err safe, sorry [08:32] I mean [08:32] Sanksu [08:32] Rums: opps and that should have been sudo grub-install /dev/sda a=the leter not number of drive you want to install mbr on [08:32] bazhang: okay [08:32] I have two hard drive, I want to have Ubuntu on both (I need one to stay at 10.04, the other will be updated to 10.10 and new versions). When I use update-grub, will it include the new options for both Ubuntus ? [08:32] Has Ubuntu the option to install a minimalistic system? [08:32] * AshDragon lols at the drama. [08:32] uwjweq, sure via alternate or minimal installer [08:32] AshDragon: i understand, but to change that [08:32] uwjweq: try the server version or JEOS [08:32] !mini | uwjweq [08:32] uwjweq: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:33] AshDragon: i love drama [08:33] So no way to do this with the "normal" cd? [08:33] uwjweq, the live one? no [08:33] srv: look at the ftp log if you have access. if the remote computer doesn't connect at all, it's a networking issue on either end. if it doesn't authenticate, that's easy enough to fix. [08:33] !alternate > uwjweq [08:33] uwjweq, please see my private message [08:34] AshDragon: where can i find ftp log? [08:34] Hi everyone, before I upgraded to Unbunto10, I saved the background images from 9, how can I now extract those files into that directory, it says I don't have the right permissions. [08:34] how do i install grup on my raid array ? [08:34] I cant ping my windows machines from this ubuntu one, what can i do? thanks =D [08:35] grub* [08:35] RWHR chmod777 the floder [08:35] folder [08:35] Hello all [08:35] bazhang: if I want to remove more stuff that I don't use (I am a little OCD on this), how can I see what is a meta package and not (using apt-get or synaptic?) [08:36] presario: So I open up a terminal window to do this? [08:36] hii all [08:37] RWHR se pm [08:37] srv: i'm not sure right off. (sorry, distracted) [08:37] how do i install the GTK+ theme? [08:37] industrial, the various -desktop packages are metapackage; there are others as well. [08:37] i'm installing from the ubuntu minimal CD. what do i need to install besides "gnome-core" to be able to boot into the gui? [08:37] shawn146-ubuntu9: sudo "apt-cache search GTK+" [08:38] why does it seem that definition lists don't work in wiki.ubuntu.com ? [08:38] pie_time , you need xserver-xorg [08:38] bazhang: is there a (visual) tree somewhere of package deps in ubuntu? [08:38] industrial, visual? like at packages.ubuntu.com ? [08:38] okay so I really just have one question. What happens if I want to install eucalyptus and have only one machine in the whole process? Node, cloud controller... one box [08:39] pie_time , and you also can choose your desktop environment [08:39] like ubuntu-desktop for gnome , xubuntu-desktop for xfce , etc [08:39] sudo: apt-cache search GTK+: command not found [08:39] howdy, again. -- does anyone know what a WAN PPPOE mini port is? [08:39] bazhang: no, like a tree structure you can see/browse through :P I'll go look around [08:39] shawn146-ubuntu9 , maybe its libgtk [08:39] timewriter, both mentioned are installed [08:40] ReadPlease, hardware? try in ##hardware [08:40] in ubuntu's file browser how do i activate the adress bar? [08:40] pie_time , type startx [08:40] It's the software I'm worried about. [08:40] need help setting up mediamate on ubuntu server 10.04. I did apt-get install mediamate and I can't access via firefox [08:40] It's some kind of... possibly DSL connection? [08:40] I can't actually read it because it's in some pretty complicated kanji. [08:40] how do i know my kernel? [08:40] ReadPlease, a physical hardware port? [08:41] qUaNtiC_: uname -a [08:41] bazhang: eg http://neidetcher.com/ubuntu_package_dependency.html [08:41] Anyone here use SeaMonkey 2.0.6? For some reason if I so much as look at it wrong it crashes. The only addons I've got are Adblock plus, better privacy and optimize google [08:41] qUaNtiC_: uname -a [08:41] It was very difficult to install in Windows, and since I'm going to be reformatting, I thought maybe I could mine out some data in advance. [08:41] wow thats a lot it lists [08:41] i had to delete the quotation mark [08:41] s [08:41] i cant install my internet jey, any help? it's an onda 825up [08:41] would be more awesome if it wasn't an image so I could search through text :P [08:41] ReadPlease , a wan ppoe port is for certain internet providers that use a sort of dsl , xdsl [08:41] The drivers for the modem are Win drivers. So, if I don't have a CD burner... [08:41] its called PPPOE [08:41] and it uses a username and password to connect to internet [08:41] ReadPlease, no drivers needed for that [08:41] Right. That's probably it, timewriter. It does require that. [08:42] then you need to provide the username and password in order to connect to the internet [08:42] That was the annoying part. The username is some kind of strange code. [08:42] Drivers won't be a problem, though? [08:42] Cool. Good to know. [08:42] ReadPlease, none needed [08:42] no drivers problem , just grab the in ternet contract or call provider [08:42] now I just need to go to ##windows and see if they know how to get the username? :D [08:42] orrrrrr maybe someone here knows? [08:43] you get the username from the internet provider [08:43] ReadPlease, windows issue? sounds like router issue [08:43] they give it to you when you sign for the contract [08:43] I'll just disconnect and reconnect until I figure it all out. [08:43] ReadPlease , my internet provider uses PPPoE [08:43] It's wierd. BigLobe - pain. [08:43] i know how this works [08:44] The username is half 1 thing and half another, and I'm not even sure I can find the paperwork. :p -- [08:44] Anyway, thanks for the guidance. [08:44] at any rate, nothing to do with Ubuntu, just connect to router and set it. [08:44] yes , its a sort of SB_181293732 [08:44] and a numerical password [08:45] 32744723 [08:45] timewriter: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:45] sorry mr bot [08:45] ReadPlease, Depending on who you're Internet provider is - sometimes the main registered email that is used for internet to work is listed on your Internet bill you get in the mail. [08:46] anyway , if you lost the usernamr and/or password , you can call support [08:46] Any nice tool to query dns server so i could see list of some domain public names / addresses + A-recods. Basicly i want to see all the domains which are mapped to specified ip-address [08:46] I have installed and compiled vim to ~/Applications/vim-7.3. I source it's bin/ dir in my bashrc. My gnome session does not recignize the program vim and it is not in the path there. How do I make it so? [08:46] hiku: have you ever dealt with eucalyptus ? [08:46] industrial , try vi [08:46] This channel is pretty nice. I wish my website looked like this. Thousands of visitors all happy. [08:46] Lazy^: are these name servers you control, or someone else's name servers? [08:47] timewriter: what now? that's not really helping is it? [08:47] vi works for me [08:48] industrial, why compile? [08:48] no need to install vim [08:48] so? vim 7.3 compiled just fine [08:48] I have path issues [08:48] vim > vi [08:48] any day :P [08:48] youre a big text editor , arent you ? [08:48] timewriter: vi is an alias for vim on ubuntu... [08:48] maco , i know :) [08:48] but vi works out of the box [08:48] industrial, its in the repos, no need to compile [08:49] bazhang: because it is not updated in the repo and I want the Lua programming API that the new vim 7.3 provides [08:49] hello. what is desktopcouch-se? [08:49] why is it opening lots of sockets and why is it eating up my cpu? [08:50] industrial , are you sure youre not on Mac Os ? [08:50] the /Applications folder confuses me [08:50] mkdir ~/Applications [08:50] Does anyone use mindless automaton? I can't seem to find out what cardbase to load. [08:50] bazhang: I still see vim 7.2 in synaptic [08:51] still, I'd love to know how gnome-session loads the PATH (and apparently doesn't source my .profile or .bashrc, which is weird because it's a session right? :S) [08:51] this won't be the first or last thing I compile myself either [08:51] also can gnome-terminal extend it's shorthand to other therminals [08:52] Is there a way to check and see if someone else is using a Nickname that you in mind you would like to register ? ? [08:52] having a little problem with X, while using X to view a file the netbook crashed to low graphics mode [08:53] mxe5, really a question for #freenode [08:53] mxe5: just change your nickname [08:53] and if it complains that it's already registered, then it is [08:53] hehehe [08:54] mxe5: /msg nickserv info usernamehere, see also http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userexpirations [08:55] simoncpu: I registered this one (mxe5) and it went through ok - So guess I'm good to then..... [08:55] rww: Thanks [08:56] I'm setting up a raid 1 data volume with LVM and encryption. Should I put the encryption at the mdraid mirror volume layer or the lvm (vg) layer? Does it matter and why? [08:57] dreamor: i'd use dm-crypt at the LVM level. and be sure /boot sits outside that. [08:57] rww: So you could run - /msg nickserv info (Nickname I want use ) and this would give results if it's taken correct ? [08:57] I can't get any games I download from the ubuntu software center to run . I downloaded open arena and alien arena and neither will work . What am I doing wrong ? [08:58] mneptok, I'm only encrypting the data volume. Why did you choose the lvm layer? [08:58] It sure would be nice if someone had the time to help me trouble shoot this crud [08:58] mxe5: correct. It says it's not registered if it isn't. [08:59] dreamor: i trust the kernel's dm-crypt and LVM support more so than RAID [08:59] rww: Ypu just did it with this Nick that I regetered and am using. [09:00] rww: Is it ok to have more than one NIckname registered ? [09:01] mneptok, Thanks, is dmcrypt different than the luks base encryption on the raid device? [09:01] mxe5: see "/msg nickserv help group" for the preferred way of doing that. [09:01] I cant ping my windows machines from this ubuntu one, what can i do? thanks =D [09:01] I have some questions about connecting my ipod to my xbuntu machine. wich channel should i go to ? [09:01] rww: Thanks will do and also look at other post earlier [09:01] wait, dont answer [09:02] i think i found something ?=D [09:02] hey i have a question about modifying the grub file...it wont let me save the modifications..what do i do ?\ [09:02] castor: this channel isn't a bad choice, but there is also #xubuntu [09:02] @jcpennerson, make sure you edit it as root user maybe ? [09:02] oke thanks :) [09:03] hi i have amplified sound on ubuntu. how should i fix it? [09:03] Topyli : You busy ? [09:03] Hi guys [09:03] edit it as root ? how/what do you mean ? [09:03] Trerot: I'll bet it was the problem I have where windows won't respond to pings. I use arping to force windows to respond. [09:03] i just found the grub file using file finder, opened it and tried to modify it but it wont save [09:03] Ximal: not too busy, but i can't help with your games either :) [09:04] I'm trying to create a VPN connection using the pptp protocol [09:04] hi [09:04] I get this error: http://pastie.org/1117412 [09:04] jcpennerson: which grub files are you trying to edit? [09:04] does anybody help me, please? [09:04] etc/default [09:05] my Ipod won't show up on my desktop. I have installed libimobile and alot of other packages Ideviceinfo gives all the info but it wont show up on mu desktop [09:05] jcpennerson: [ sudo /etd/default/grub ] [09:05] anyone knows how to fix this ? [09:05] whoo /etc/derfault/grub sri [09:05] keiha: using the terminal ? [09:05] NVM :-) I have a KB issue BRB [09:05] Yes [09:06] anyone know how to sync up galaxy s vibrant with evolution contacts, mail, calendar? [09:06] mikunos: I've never used pptp or maybe I should say never got it to work. I use openvpn instead. [09:07] jcpennerson: there KB issue fixed .. Yes, and after editing what you need, run [ sudo update-grub ] [09:07] sacarlson: it responds if i use IP adress and not if i use computer name. [09:07] My ipod won't show up on my desktop. ideviceinfo regonizes my ipod but it just won't show up [09:08] anyone knows how to fix the ipod problem ? [09:08] Trerot: oh [09:08] Trerot: I guess our dns isn't using windows methods [09:08] does *nix have a html tag striper? [09:09] having a little problem with X, while using less in a gnome terminal to view a file on my netbook it crashed to low graphics mode, after flicking from tty to tty [09:09] Trerot: you could add the name manualy in /etc/hosts file if you have them set static only. [09:10] jcpennerson: also here's a real good article explaining all the functions of Grub2, and what too-do & what not too do: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [09:10] hello can someone tell me where i can find this file :xf86_ansic.h [09:10] Hello everybody, how can I create a repository of my Ubuntu packages ? [09:10] godbod, how large a repo [09:10] Is there a way to see what kind of errors the games I am trying to start in linux are giving my computer ? like a forced log ?a debug mode ? [09:10] Strashniq2: apt-file's not coming up with anything in a search [09:11] godbod, just your machine? aptoncd then [09:11] Ximal: have you tried starting them in a terminal? [09:11] godbod: you want a download script, ot a list of files installed ? [09:11] maco I`m not using ubuntu actually but i got no other place to ask [09:11] Strashniq2: yes i see you in that channel too [09:12] hmm doug ... be back momentarily.. [09:12] !aptoncd | godbod [09:12] godbod: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [09:12] well i`ve been told the driver`s sorce code needs to be update [09:12] okay, but how is it possible that only some packages appear...? not all as far as I am concerned. [09:12] godbod, not installed via package manager then? [09:13] well...okay, I understand, thanks [09:14] KE1HA: I just checked your link after I just wrote this one so I added yours to it http://paste.ubuntu.com/483850/ [09:15] Umm .. How do I start these games in the terminal if they are not even in the user bin files ? [09:15] sacarlson: tnx, I've got a bucn of Grub2 links, been doing script testing on mods for it. [09:16] Ximal: /usr/games ? [09:16] dougb_freebsd: someone elses [09:16] yep [09:16] dougb_freebsd: but then it might be impossible right ? [09:16] Lazy^: then the answer is, "you can't" [09:16] sacarlson: SUM does ok for basics' but lacks many of the features grub2 can do. [09:16] can someone help me make a script that starts with the X and changes my resolution to 800x600 and then to 1024 x 7** [09:17] Strashniq2: just ask in ##slackware. we've established you dont use ubuntu :P [09:17] well slackware people are all dead [09:17] and slackware and ubuntu are almost identicle [09:17] KE1HA: SUM? is that a different bootloader? [09:17] Strashniq2, its offtopic here. try in ##linux perhpas [09:17] sacarlson: and just FYI all the hard drives are looked at as (hdx,x) even thought they are sda devices, like /dev/sda would be (hd0,1) [09:18] http://pastebin.org/774203 <--- this is the error I get when I try to start my game .. I would like to know where to start with the errors here as I am unsure what I would search for in the forums to read up on so I can fix this issue ? [09:18] bazhang: im talking to Strashniq2 in ##slackware too [09:18] maco, nice [09:18] Strashniq2: i think slackware people would be offended by that second statement [09:18] quit [09:18] sacarlson: Start Up manager [09:18] maco if the true hurts them - it`s their problem [09:18] *truth [09:18] KE1HA: on my newer bios it calls out /dev/sda sdb some bios call out different [09:18] slackware is NOTHING like ubuntu .. it's more bsd style man [09:19] Slackware is closer to ARCH Linux In My Humble Opinion [09:19] what is ARCH Linux ? [09:19] !ot [09:19] dougb_freebsd: ty [09:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [09:19] Now that I have copied the images into the background directory, when I look in there they don't appear, is there something special I have to do now to get them to appear when I "Changebackground"? [09:19] another Distro ? [09:19] Strashniq2: yes [09:19] Lazy^: sorry that's not the answer you wanted [09:20] RWHR, have you set the permissions??? [09:20] sacarlson: that depeds on how many drives you have, 1x sata = sda, 2x sata sdb and so on. [09:20] http://pastebin.org/774203 can anyone tell me anything about the bottom section of this error report ? I am really dying without my unreal tournament let alone my dang linux based games [09:21] something about to many lines for the xlib ? [09:21] KE1HA: I think a whole nother doc could be writen on just all the different bios versions and how they call out disks and the order of boot. [09:22] > logan_wolf: More than likely not, I've just done the "sudo chmod 777 backgrounds" command and then copied the files across. [09:22] sacarlson: also, the BIOS can name the differently due to the port they are physically attached too, but the OS sees it as sda sdb sdc etc [09:22] goddamn ubuntu! argh [09:22] !languange jcpennerson [09:22] sorry [09:22] needs more pipe [09:23] i spellt it wrongt .. againt [09:23] KE1HA: yes but to simplify for the layman I just tell them to give it the smalist number. what more can you do to make it simple? [09:23] i am having quite the problem with ubuntu [09:23] jcpennerson: are you trying to do ? [09:24] KE1HA: by default grub2 installs on the smalist sda [09:24] This is my problem : I have a Dell Pavillion dv9500 with nvdia graphics card. when i try to install ubuntu (or even, try the 'use ubuntu without installation' mode), it crashes 90% of the time. So i read up on it, apparently its a driver problem and i need to add the line i915.nomodeset=1 to my etc/default grub file. is this correct ? [09:25] sacarlson: it installs where ya tell it too /dev/sda or hda or you can selct another first part from sdc is you have 3x drives [09:25] jcpennerson: you can test this by hitting any key while at the "install or run without install" screen and then going to options and setting that as part of your boot line [09:26] KE1HA: yes but without telling it (and that's what many people do) it goes to sda so in hopes that's what they did maybe it will fix it. [09:26] yea i read that in one of the paste-bins but when i hit any key, it does take me to the command line where i can see what packages are being loaded or not but i cannot type anything there. [09:26] maco: IS THAT NOMODSET 1 OR 0 though I can't remember. [09:26] KE1HA: 1 [09:26] SRI abt the caps [09:27] KE1HA: well actually.... [09:27] KE1HA: i think its i915.modeset=0 ... not nomodeset [09:27] yes, thats what I though, was 0 .. [09:27] logan_wolf: More than likely not, I've just done the "sudo chmod 777 backgrounds" command and then copied the files across. [09:28] jcpennerson: also are you using the Desktop ISO or the ALT ISO ? [09:28] KE1HA: one of the problems I found is that if I give someone more than one solution they just get confused and don't know what to do. the problem with ubuntu and linux is there is always another way.

[10:36] ReadPlease: Here's a methign to Use Wubi to Install Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/the-extremely-simple-guide-to-installing-ubuntu.html [10:38] I want to install fortran compiler for ubuntu 10.04 but in installing I was faced with a Error"Missing critical pre-requisite [10:38] -- 32-bit libraries not found".someone can help to me? [10:38] Hi, is it possible to create a new user account that has access to reload nginx? [10:38] ReadPlease yes? no? do you think you could try a networked install? like connecting to a network and installing from another comp? [10:38] I should put context in. I'm kind of new. Not a CIS major or anything. I'm really just trying to confirm this because I heard it from a friend. I think Wubi is a great option, but is there a huge--like 99.9%--risk of watching my harddrive corrupt? [10:39] nano_: are you running a 64bit system? [10:39] madf0x, I don't have another computer. [10:39] Wait, maybe I can network connect to you. [10:39] :) [10:39] yes [10:39] nano_: then I guess you can install the 32bit libs [10:40] ReadPlease Well, to be honest I wouldn't know if thats possible or not. I just know the option exists to be explored [10:40] hi all I need a walkthrough on how to install a program (minitube) from the archive [10:40] nano_: you would have to link them into your compile. but why don't we already have a fortran compiler? [10:40] ReadPlease plus i'd probably have to mess with a bunch of port forwarding and crap x.x [10:40] Maybe the linux channel will know. I'll ask them and see what they have to say. Hopefully, good news. :) [10:40] nano_: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [10:40] salve [10:40] !software | DJNomad [10:40] DJNomad: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [10:41] That would be a Hell of a project, to try to do a network install over the internet. ^^ lol [10:41] nano_: what about gfortran sudo apt-get install gfortran [10:41] ReadPlease well one option would be to download the file, use a virtual CDrom and then run it right inside the HD I THINK ubuntu supports this with windows [10:42] hello [10:42] where is the config file about networks on ubuntu? [10:43] So, with one of the Japanese mirror package servers I'm getting a lot of messages about untrusted packages.... [10:43] fancybit: /etc/network/interfaces. [10:43] More or less. If you can tell me just what you want to do or see, I can provide more precise instructions. [10:43] thanks erUSUL but that page didnt get me much closer,sorry for my ignorance lol [10:44] Hi, is it possible to create a new user account that has access to reload nginx? [10:45] DJNomad: Aplicatios>Ubuntu Software Center. search for minitube. mark to install [10:45] k thanks erUSUL [10:46] FIGHTER`: you can tweak sudoers to add that command and only that. « man sudoers » === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [10:47] DJNomad: you may also want to check out Chromium and HTML5 works good with youtube. [10:47] erUSUL: ok thanks, ill take a look [10:47] hey guys [10:47] could you give me a helping hand? :D [10:48] Ask away [10:48] KE1HA, I am on a ancient system is chromium light weight? [10:48] DJNomad: yes. [10:48] I am kinda fond of google toolbar and I dont think it is on chromium [10:48] although much of the things I like about the toolbar are on chromium [10:48] DJNomad: it's not Chrome, it's Chromium. [10:49] yes I know but forgot lol [10:49] Hi guys. My theme has a panel size of 31 pixels. It wont allow me to decrease it. I'd like to change the panel to 23 pixels as I like the theme Moomex. Can I force the panel to be smaller?

[10:50] KE1HA, 733 with 512 ram here,onboard vid lol [10:50] where I can modify options so screen saver can't run wail I'm watching flash (on youtube or page like that) ? [10:51] Helloo [10:51] Weird networking issue, I can get on any chat network, pings are successful, no packet loss, typical latency, but firefox and seamonkey time out on any site unless I am currently pinging it, stuff loaded from other servers times out as well. if I download something from the repos the file downloads at normal speed. Tested with 2 different modems [10:51] FIGHTER`: you can tweak sudoers so it have to use password or not. is NOPASSWD keyword or some such [10:51] intok sounds like something is f0ing with your outgoing port 80 [10:51] karlo good question my "movie player" needs to keep my screensaver from activation as well [10:51] karlo u can go to system/prefrences/screensaver [10:52] DJNomad: You can have a working machine. I would say xubuntu or ubuntu with fluxboe or e17 would do... [10:52] DJNomad: fluxbox [10:52] minimec, I am running xubuntu,others are to foreign for me right now [10:52] intok check your gateway and see if anything is interfering with http I messed with a friend once by blocking access for a few minutes :) [10:52] DJNomad: yeah, thats' pretty lite, FF I'd stay away from them. Epiphany is another option for a browser. [10:53] I play a facebook game nearly all the time so that factors into it aswell,chromium seemed laggier in it [10:53] i did fsck but i still get the error message "failed to open /var/webmin/miniserv.error : Read-only file system " [10:53] FIGHTER`: found an example line --> « your_user_here ALL=(root)NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/nginx restart » [10:54] also another question ...is anyone familiar with conduits toolbar where you can make your own ? [10:54] i did fsck but i still get the error message "failed to open /var/webmin/miniserv.error : Read-only file system " [10:54] FIGHTER`: check with docs. to edit sudoers use « visudo » [10:54] sorry for the repeat mistake [10:54] FIGHTER`: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1132821 [10:54] DJNomad: just guess, I'd say, Epiphany, then Chromium, then FF in weights. [10:54] anyone has any idea? [10:54] anyway using the toolbar for some reason the "radio player" part of it does not show up using linux [10:54] how does the "purge rm" command work? i cant seem to get it working [10:55] what are u trying to purge or remove pie_time [10:55] I am assuming there is a plugin I need to get it to work but I do not know what to get [10:55] pie_time: sudo aptitude purge ? [10:55] DJNomad: plug-in for which one ? [10:55] i concur with murlidhar pie_time [10:56] KE1HA, the toolbar is a ie and firefox only toolbar [10:56] the rm is a complete different command eg sudo rm filename [10:56] so firefox [10:56] DJNomad: ahh ok, and it's a radio plug-in / extension ? [10:57] how do get more info about the cdrom I am using? [10:57] KE1HA, yes it is a lil player in a toolbar that you can "tune" in net steams [10:58] http://FreakShowToolbar.OurChurchToolbar.com/ [10:58] DJNomad: I just goggled it there's several, don't know which one you need, but here's one" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4392/ [10:59] is there any graphical interface for adminstrating grub?

[12:21] eino: there should by symlink in /etc/rcX.d to the init.d/script [12:21] SPM_ I did that update.rc thing that created the links [12:22] eino: and symlink is existing now? [12:22] #python [12:23] Hi I am trying to compile the linux kernel, but I get the following Error: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/uBCUUCHx [12:23] SPM_ I'm not sure, how do I confirm that? :) [12:24] brb [12:24] hello everybody..I'd like to stop using proprietary nvidia driver, but If I remove them my max resolution is 800X600.

[12:27] eino: yes, X is number of run level. Which update command have you used for add this script? [12:27] eino: you can also use crontab to start a program at boot, I noticed there has been changes in boot start configs in the last releases === ivoqnev is now known as fortran [12:28] SPM_ update-rc.d scriptname defaults [12:28] sacarlson: you think that would be easier? [12:28] eino: you can see this for an example to setup scripts in cron at boot http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/crontab.htm [12:29] okay [12:29] sacarlson do I need X to be running in order to use that? [12:29] eino: well nothing is too dificult if you know how to do it. this is just my prefered method [12:29] You could just start a command from /etc/rc.local [12:30] eino: is the program you run an x program? if so then yest [12:30] eino: ok and have you symlink /etc/rc2.d/S20 ? [12:30] Ubuntu uses Upstart these days. the 'rc.d' (sysv) method is slowly getting phased out. [12:30] eino: if not then no you don't need xserver to be running [12:31] then it's better run program with xsession or similar.. [12:31] !autostart [12:31] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [12:31] sacarlson: no it is not, ok [12:31] SPM_ no, what is that? [12:31] SPM_: seems some of the startup sequence has moved from /etc/init.d to /etc/init with some if then stuff added. I don't have a full understanding of it yet. [12:32] My ipod was recently completely corrupted by GNUpod, and i cant seem to format it because gnome keeps trying to mount it, but it causes it to instantly disappear. how would i be able to force-format it? [12:32] sacarlson: what remanes of /etc/init.d is actually (for the most part) upstart scripts that just look like the old sysv system. Upstart is the way ubuntu is heading [12:32] sacarlson: hmm, I now tried update-rc.d command and it only create symlinks in rcX.d... [12:32] oh yea and I'm using the 9.04 version [12:32] if that changes anything === manu is now known as Guest31470 [12:33] SPM_: I think they are like running parts of both upstart and sysv but at some point I think it will all be upstart so you might be better off moving to cron that I guess might continue to be supported. [12:33] Dr_Willis: behavior of update-rc.d is updated automatical or I need to change anything? [12:33] eino: what exactly are yoy trying to startup? [12:33] rTorrent === luke is now known as Guest11796 [12:34] I followed a guide at their website but I guess I failed [12:34] eino: i would just start it from /etc/rc.local and be done with it. :) Unless you really want it to work as a 'service' [12:34] "rtorrentcommontasks" @ google [12:34] I accidentally turned on my hdmi output and now when I turn on mycomputer I can see the login screen and I hear the sounds @ login but I can't move my mouse . Can anyone help with that ? [12:34] Dr_Willis: allright, I'll try that [12:35] Dr_Willis: what do i type in it? :D [12:35] hmm, it will be hard to forgot init scripts :) [12:35] Is there a way to reset your xconfig file or to reset your video output on ubuntu 10.04 while you are using the live cd ? [12:35] eino: whatever command starts the progam [12:35] Dr_Willis: okay [12:36] but hmm [12:36] eino: put them befor the exit statement with & at the end.. [12:36] cool thing with crontab is you can start your program at boot without being a super user. [12:36] sacarlson: rc.local is ran as root.. at boot. [12:36] starting things at 'boot' via crontab seems.. awkward [12:36] Dr_Willis: can I put "screen rtorrent&" before the last line and it'll work? [12:37] eino: proberly. Try it and see.. [12:37] Dr_Willis: don't you need to be a supper user to modify the contents of rc.local then? [12:37] okay :P [12:37] eino: you mey need to read up on the screen docs. [12:37] sacarlson: for running cron jobs as root you have to be root too... I think [12:38] sacarlson: rc.local is ran when the system boots befor users login. You could set up a command to run an app as a user if you wanted.. it does Not run apps at set time.. just once at bootup. [12:38] SPM_: yes true but any user can have a cron that he can modify without becoming root that's all I'm saying. [12:39] Dr_Willis: user cron is also started before users login but never require supper user to modify or start them. [12:39] sacarlson: yes... but if user has root account on his computer, is maybe better to use rc.local or similar.. [12:39] didn't work [12:40] need help with lock screen [12:40] eino: then you need to use a proper command and read up on screen [12:40] screen -r nor screen -rd nor sudo * those wont work [12:40] what do you mean proper? [12:40] eino: you have to type screen -r as root [12:40] oh [12:40] SPM_ I did [12:40] with sudo, ok.. [12:41] eino: figure out how to do it from a terminal. i do Not think 'screen whatever' runs whatever in screen.. try it from a terminal [12:41] when the screen is locked the dialog that pops up has an "unlock" button that bypasses entry of the login [12:41] SPM_: they can both do almost the same thing if the user that has the cron has sudo rights he too can start a root event. not saying it's wrong to do it your way just providing another way that you never require to be root. [12:41] Dr_Willis: if I type screen rtorrent its starts up fine [12:41] eino: then whats the issue? [12:41] saying 'it dont work' dosent tell us much. :) [12:41] I would like it to start automatically when I boot my computer :P [12:42] I put it in that rc file and rebooted, no screen to be resumed [12:42] I'm sorry if this is frustrating, I'm a newbie with linux :D === Cain` is now known as Cain [12:42] eino: whats the exact command you put in rc.local ? [12:43] screen rtorrent& [12:43] exit 0 [12:43] eino: there ya go.. thats the issue [12:43] its screen rtorrent & [12:43] 'spaces are imporntant' [12:43] oh okay :D pardon me [12:43] reboot, sec [12:44] i want website i can download games for ubuntu [12:44] i want website i can download games for ubuntu [12:44] Dr_Willis: point eino to "man screen"/startup [12:45] piero: try the getdeb or playdeb web sites fotr startersd. [12:45] piero: or check teh package manager for lots of games [12:45] Every time I upgrade the kernel my graphics and sound drivers get screwed.. is there a fix to this? [12:45] odd, still doesn't work [12:45] "no screen to be resumed/detached [12:45] eino: use crontab and read "man screen"/startup [12:45] hi all [12:45] rockhopper, If you recall our last conversation I believe this is the problem: "wlan0: deauthenticating from XXXXXX by local choice (reason=3)" [12:45] doorknob, which video card do you have? [12:46] Although I have no idea how to fix it [12:46] jrib isn't rc.local crontab? [12:46] eino: no. [12:46] okay [12:46] hmph [12:46] eino: you do realize that rc.lcoal is getting ran as root.. so your torrent app is getting ran as root. this may not be what you want [12:46] rc.local has nothing to do with crontab [12:46] hi daviwy [12:46] (running ATI catalyst drivers with ATI sound onboard) [12:47] Dr_Willis: it doesn't matter if it runs as root [12:47] eino: it can matter.. its a serucity risk [12:47] okay [12:47] eino: screen has command line options to start detached.. you proberly need to use [12:47] Batch, Lol i dont know as well. But, if you have set the settings up correct, it shud connect [12:47] brb [12:47] doorknob, mm I am not sure about ati situations when kernels get updated however ... I assume you rebooted when there were kernel updates...yes? [12:47] rockhopper, Well it was working easiler, I don't know what to do/say D: [12:48] earlier* [12:48] Batch, Lol, weird [12:48] Throw the bitch out the window I reckon. [12:48] ;< [12:48] Batch: that's not appropriate here [12:48] Batch, are the settings in that router changed? [12:49] jrib, Neither is wireless decided to kill itself. [12:49] rockhopper, Nope.

[12:50] Ximal, yes `yes` [12:50] run that.

Error that I think is causing it is; wlan0: deauthenticating from XXXXX by local choice (reason=3) [12:52] sorry jrib [12:53] Ximal: how did you turn the monitors on and off? Using a gui tool? Anyway, I don't think the dpkg configure script does much nowadays. But by default xorg.conf should be empty or even non-existent. Try that. Also you can pass some switch to Xorg to generate some kind of configuration file. I'd try just deleting xorg.conf for starters [12:53] johngeetar: nope, never noticed anything like that, are you living on Mercurius? lol...

[13:10] sipior: it is definitely set to Adaptive. i can reboot and it still says Adaptive. but even though that is true, it chooses the fastest of the three adaptive modes to stick in when i'm using TwinView [13:10] any one here/join #xchat [13:10] ty [13:10] jrib: it's telling me no monitors found when i try to go to the safe graphics mode and to fix the graphics selection [13:10] jrib: that is the fatal error i am receiving clearly read now sir [13:12] Ximal: after renaming xorg.conf and restarting X it takes you to safe graphics mode? [13:12] jrib: no sir . It pauses and then freezes after i hear the ubuntu login bonging sound [13:13] jrib: well not freezes .. I just lose use of my mouse and keyboard and my NUM LOCK KEY will not illuminate at login after i hear the sounds and the screen appears [13:13] Ximal: did it used to work? [13:13] yes sir jrib [13:14] I'm thinking I'll go to the live cd .. backup the important junk i've gotten in the past 24 hours be it only a few tv shows and ecw films [13:14] and then reinstall using only the hdmi cable now that I know the hdmi output works.. if that doesn't fly then I'll just give up on the hd output [13:15] though I hate to handicapp ubuntu when I know it's capable of much ore [13:15] err much more [13:15] Ximal: hmm, that shouldn't be necessary, but I also don't know much about what's going on so it may be the quicker route [13:15] jrib: thank you and i'll see you later if I survive the move [13:15] thatst weird. I use hdmi or my dvi and swap them about on my nvidia system [13:15] thank you [13:15] Dr_Willis: seems that the proxy settings in /etc/wgetrc needed editing [13:15] I am using a dvi -> hdmi converter gizmo. [13:15] Anyone familiar with Nessus on 10.04? Having issues with installing and SSL certs [13:16] Dr_Willis: it's all good willis I'm just reinstalling over 10.04 to get the hdmi from the start ;) [13:16] hi, i'm not able to boot my fresh 10.04 server installation on lvm+raid. I get the busybox prompt and "/dev/mapper/LVM-root not found" message. any thoughts? === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [13:16] sipior: http://pastebin.com/t4ksRSUx [13:17] fabi_an_: have you installed raid modules and lvm utils in this system? [13:18] SPM_: i did a standard install with the 10.04 server cd. I used the installer to setup raid+lvm. no manual installation of anything [13:19] SPM_: i wasn't able to boot in the system after the installer completed [13:19] Can someone help me with Nessus 4.2.2 and fixing SSL cert issues? [13:19] SPM_: by holding the shift key I got in the grub2 (1.98) menu, the configuration appears to be valid (insmod raid5, raid5rec, mdraid,lvm,ext2) [13:20] SPM_: and my root partition (no separate boot) is ext4 [13:20] fabi_an_: hmm... this can be bug... but now I would try to boot from live cd, chroot into installed system, try to install raid and lvm utils, update initramfs and reboot [13:21] SPM_: can I do that with the server cd? or do I need the desktop cd? [13:21] fabi_an_: I think that server cd should bu sufficient [13:22] rescue mode? [13:22] try it... if it boot into terminal it will be good :) [13:23] SPM_: it just doesn't seem to load raid+lvm in the terminal :( [13:23] fabi_an_: hmm, md devices doesn't exist? :/ [13:23] no [13:24] try modprobe raid1 (or raidX according to level...) [13:25] oh [13:25] there is md0 [13:25] I normally use Eterm or rxvt for a terminal, usually Eterm with Escreen, but I just got a really hi res monitor and now the fonts are too small, so I've been spending hours trying to nagivate the morass that is the font management system in Linux [13:25] fabi_an_: vgscan should map lvm devices [13:25] So, I'm tring to find a terminal that is as powerful as Eterm or rxvt but is more simple to configure. [13:26] And am here looking for suggestions. === undifined_ is now known as UndiFineD [13:26] SPM_: false positive, the md0 says "no such file or directory" (if i triy mdadm --start /dev/md0) [13:27] SPM_: vgscan gives no output aparat from "this may take a while" [13:27] fabi_an_: look in fdisk if partition types are raid auto detect... [13:27] just recently, all flash videos started playing at 3-4x, with no sound. the same thing happens with pianobar. does anyone have a suggestion on where I could start? [13:28] SPM_: yes, all of the 4 [13:29] ideally, a term that will minimize screen real estate, use transparency and have a decent tabbing system (Escreen is *awesome*) but will have a straightforward method of setting fonts and sizes on the commandline. [13:29] hey all [13:30] fabi_an_: hmm, maybe some more special live cd found drives correctly :/ but it's weird, I mount lvm drives from normal desktop install cd...

[13:46] i tried booting older kernel... didn't work... [13:46] How can i download files from one ubuntu machine to another other than ftp [13:46] brielle: oh [13:47] rsv: scp?

[14:06] hey guys...has synaptic freezing the system been reported at all? I have had the same problem with lucid from day one... also on lucid edubuntu.. synaptic will freeze the system... text console...as root... killall synaptic ...log in open software sources first then open synaptic for it to work [14:06] clean installs by the way [14:07] coz_ IDK, maybe check google? [14:07] coz_, how much memory do you have ? [14:07] when i try rsync, it just lists the file, it wont download it [14:08] coz_: hdd full? [14:08] aeon-ltd, no not even close [14:08] i did find a report on ubuntu forums just now [14:08] coz_: you get the console by logging in remotely, or via alt-f1? [14:09] ctrl-alt-f1, rather. [14:09] coz_, you may want to remove the *.bin files from /var/cache/apt, they will be rebuild on update [14:09] coz_, try emptying out the cache, in the console type this in: sudo apt-get clean [14:09] sipior, well I have to use ctrl+alt+F1 after the system freezes [14:09] coz_: so the system doesn't actually freeze... [14:10] sipior, in the stricktest sense no but nothing including cursor input is available [14:10] coz_: but keyboard input is. did you notice any other processes running whilst in console? [14:10] guys [14:11] sipior, yes [14:11] how to kill all the pid from a specified user in ubuntu ? [14:11] sipior, but no applications are available [14:11] coz_: sorry? which processes did you notice? [14:11] sipior, none [14:12] coz_: so when you said "yes" just now... [14:12] its has 7000 processes [14:12] i want to kill it all by one command [14:12] how ? [14:12] could someone explain what launchers are - i have tried making a launcher on the desktop to both a script and a folder(location) and neither work at all [14:13] Routers: check out the "-u" switch to killall [14:13] hi ppl [14:14] RainRain: launchers are the equivalent of shortcuts to apps [14:14] RainRain: a launcher is like a shortcut on windows. Right click on the menu bar (the one with apps, places, system) and click new launcher. [14:14] Routers: try this and see if it works sudo pkill -u username [14:15] can i not just put a launcher on the desktop ? [14:15] RainRain: oops, click edit menu, then click new launcher [14:15] i was right click on dtop >> add new launcher >> fill in the bits = nothing happened [14:15] RainRain: you can right click on it in the menu and then click add launcher to desktop [14:16] which menu again [14:16] sacarlson : its says invalid passwd sudo for me [14:17] RainRain: just right click on any [14:17] Routers: what does that mean you don't have sudo privliges? [14:17] i must root first ? [14:17] sacarlson: Routers: maybe you misspelled the password [14:18] Ubuntu keeps breaking my triple-boot configuration (Sabayon, Fedora, Ubuntu) -- currently Ubuntu is only recognizing Fedora and doesn't add Sabayon to grub. Is there some way to fix this automatically or do I have to keep modifying my grub.cfg every time ubuntu updates it? [14:18] A71KR117: doesnt work --- the option comes up but nothing happens [14:18] Routers: no but your user must be in the sudoers list and yes maybe you misspelled your password [14:18] RainRain: what doesnt work? [14:18] sudo pkill -u routers <- like this rite ? [14:18] add this launcher to panel works but to desktop just does nothing [14:18] Routers: looks right to me [14:19] Routers: can you sudo ls [14:19] wait pls [14:19] A71KR117: yes - weird right clicking and then clicking add this launcher to dtop literally does nothing for some reason --- i did an update earlier and need a restart maybe that could be the problem [14:20] RainRain: Hit ALT-F2 and paste this in: gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop --type bool 1 [14:20] UndiFineD, that may have worked at least for now ... i will continue to test this though ... [14:20] sacarlson [14:20] routers@Central-Server:~$ sudo ls [14:20] [sudo] password for routers: [14:20] A71KR117: was there supposed to be some effect - didnt notice [14:21] Routers: the password isn't suppose to show up for security reasons [14:21] hi [14:21] yes so you need to enter your password, don't you know what it is? [14:21] RainRain: try logging off, then logging on again [14:21] tcha: hi [14:21] I can't activate my touchpad with a dell latitude 13 on ubuntu, got some ideas ? [14:21] RainRain: after doing what the earlier message said [14:22] ok - thanks [14:22] wo [14:22] what should i do now [14:22] will open office work on ubuntu linux? [14:22] Routers: wo is that no? [14:22] lap_dragon: openoffice comes default with the desktop install. [14:22] oh [14:22] ok [14:22] lap_dragon: yes its in the repos if you don't have it [14:23] sacarlson : im a root .. i try sudo pkill -u routers [14:23] can you give me the command to install it? is it sudo apt-get install openoffice ? [14:23] lap_dragon: should be might be open-office though [14:23] hmm then I am thinking of something else. [14:23] RainRain: did it work? [14:23] lap_dragon: the package name is openoffice.org [14:24] What is the free program that is just like microsoft word? [14:24] lap_dragon: Thats it. [14:24] isnt it openoffice writer? [14:24] ok [14:24] lap_dragon: open office writer [14:24] Routers: well the other think I note is your killing yourself not sure what that will end up with. [14:24] Ubuntu keeps breaking my triple-boot configuration (Sabayon, Fedora, Ubuntu) -- currently Ubuntu is only recognizing Fedora and doesn't add Sabayon to grub. Is there some way to fix this automatically or do I have to keep modifying my grub.cfg every time ubuntu updates it? [14:24] lap_dragon: openoffice.org-writer if you just want that. I don't know how much of the suite it pulls in though. [14:24] i'm new to ubuntu does ubuntu have mailing lists for support? [14:24] i can't copy or cut the any documents from system to pendrive.. may you heip me please..... [14:24] !lists | eugenejvr [14:24] eugenejvr: Mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailing lists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com [14:24] A71KR117: yes something happened alright - now i've got tons of launchers - thanks for your help --- what would the problem have been do you thinkg [14:25] so nobody can help with the touchpad ? I tried tpconfig but nothing works [14:25] thanx [14:25] RainRain: an update probably changed the GConf settings. === muthu is now known as vairam [14:25] A71KR117: thanks again [14:25] coz_, I do that once in a while === S4ry|Away is now known as S4ry [14:26] RainRain: ur welcome [14:26] hi i want to share a drive (samba) and a fat partion is not really working for me cause i get files over 13 gig and fat doesn't know how to handle [14:26] so [14:26] NTFS is the next best sollution?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:28] aaah okej tought so but was just curious [14:29] merci all [14:29] WinstonSmith: it is done, but it only detects the usb mouse [14:29] aeon-ltd: will try EXT thanks [14:29] Im trying to make it so when i play an mp3 gmail voice chat thinks its my mic...how would i go about doing this?

[14:30] It is a usb audio card [14:31] just to let u guys know i solved my problem with lvm and restoring a pvcreated volume. [14:31] lap_dragon: soldering iron !!

[14:32] .. for firefox [14:32] lap_dragon: you'll need to solder the speakers only to the audio aut port of the laptop, then connect external soundcard with a wire to the port, should work fine [14:32] tcha, do a xinput list |grep -i touchpad please [14:33] i can copy the documents from pendrive to system.. but,i can't copy any kind of documents including videos from system to pendrive [14:33] variam: where are the documents located? can you move them to 1 folder?

[14:35] theslob, are there any diagrams you could link me to of a VGN-N320E vaio? [14:35] Built into my laptop [14:35] hey, have specific problem with scim-anthy under lynx, want to type japanese but can't input hiragana n . checked all the online resources and they all tell me to type double n as usual but then i get a hiragana nya. Who can help me with this? Thanx Rob [14:35] lap_dragon: no. (short answer) without modding [14:35] sacarlson: but i just heard that ext3 will do as well cause if u share over samba the underlying partition type does not matter [14:36] lap_dragon: its only 2 wires so you don't need a diagram [14:36] lap_dragon: experimental but you could use a 3.5mm jack going out of the usb audio card to the input jack of your laptop then output using built in speakers(although imo built in speaker suck for notebooks) [14:36] Mimo: oh I thought you needed windows support, yes ext3 would be better if you just want ubuntu to access it. [14:36] lap_dragon: kind of a dirty workaround though [14:36] well i use win7 and have a fileserver (ubuntu) [14:37] aeon-ltd: danger, might damage internal audio or both [14:37] so still need ntfs? [14:37] Mimo: does windows need to mount it? [14:37] Mimo: oh I see, ya ext3 then is better [14:37] big problem: i've just installed ubuntu 10.04 and it works perfectly but, when i plug my wireless belkin card, everything crashes and i need to shutdown manually my pc. what can i do? [14:37] no no need for mounting [14:38] jrib : you there ? [14:38] aeon-ltd: I guess windows can mount ext3 also with 3rd party software added. [14:38] ximal: yes [14:38] Mimo: then no, you don't need ntfs === alex88 is now known as alex88[away] [14:38] !away > alex88[away] [14:38] alex88[away], please see my private message [14:38] I am going to open up my laptop and see if I can figure anything out.

[14:39] lap_dragon: note: ground yourself first [14:39] ok [14:39] "found synaptics touchpad" [14:39] I am turning it off [14:39] jrib : check private msg friend [14:42] big problem: i've just installed ubuntu 10.04 and it works perfectly but, when i plug my wireless belkin card, everything crashes and i need to shutdown manually my member:pc. what can i do?

[14:44] pie_time: samba, nfs [14:44] aeon-ltd, someone told me it was sshfs [14:44] and that it was safer [14:44] tcha, try this : gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true [14:44] samba [14:45] pie_time: if you've got a firewall they're pretty much the same, yeah ssh keys might be slightly safer but not significantly better [14:46] pie_time: you asked "easiest" not "most secure", do you need the transfer to be encrypted on your local network? [14:46] jrib, bo [14:46] bo? [14:46] jrib, no [14:46] lawl :) [14:47] pie_time: then use samba or nfs as aeon-ltd suggested. You can use samba by just right clicking on a directory in nautilus and sharing it [14:47] jrib, it's not working in my bridged virtual machine though [14:47] imfede, try booting with the card already plugged in?

[16:02] Viglite, it says on there "There is an unresolved issue in that you cannot create a bootable USB stick from within Mac OSX. You must create the stick in Linux or Windows." is that still a problem [16:02] gasull: well it's easy to setup with just your personal home dir encrypted. just create a new account that's encrypted. on 10.04 it's built in [16:03] if i run windows 7 under is it virtualbox would i be able to use that magicjack applicance within lucid ? [16:03] duffydack: I think is resolved in 10, but the info and other data needed is linked on that official page. [16:03] gasull: if you want to change the encryption method I guess you can do that. but I would setup a secound account to encrypt and keep a usable unencrypted account for service and repair. [16:03] Viglite, is there a "dd" for mac? [16:04] could just use that, it works for ubuntu isos 9.10 and later as i recall. [16:04] I'm tring to do MAC address filtering on my machine but it wasnt working, so I ran tcpdump to see if I see MAC's being passed in the traffic and I don't. [16:04] Any insight into this?

I need them both to have read write in the www folder. Do I add the users to the www-data group, or do i make a new goup that ows the www folder and add www-data to it? [16:13] Viglite: was that for slayton? [16:13] i installed a newer version of empathy from ppa and now it's no longer in the unified message indicator applet. what can i do to put it back? [16:14] cousteau: No, you asked about Flash Plugin, you can do that Adobe 10 or use the gstreamer from the 'ugly' or 'bad' set, see wich one works best with your hardware. [16:14] Viglite, thanks for the heads up on VLC I thought it was just a player [16:15] Hey, it would be awesome if someone could check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9767934#post9767934.

[16:49] WinstonSmith: i am assuming that i can't increase my rams without installing a new chip, so what am thinking of is to take certain amount of my swap and put use it for ram [16:50] im guessing i type in "alsamixer" if so im getting "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory" whcih is weird becuase it was working the other day :s [16:50] blink: Thats what swap is though....

[17:06] i mean, i look at that list of updates... i dont know what could or would even effect my sound :/ [17:06] Dug__, might be the kernel update [17:06] hmm [17:06] which one in that list is the kernal update ?

[17:10] does somebody has experience with alsa?? audio device changes after every song [17:10] Hi [17:10] Following your example... [17:10] chmod +x NV.run [17:10] ./nv.run [17:10] didn't work, got "no such file" for NVidia Linux drivers package just downloaded and listed under dir command [17:10] ubun00b: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:10] where is the nick list [17:10] ok so shift just as its booting and look for a kernel menu and select an older one [17:11] wele to your right. [17:11] ubun00b: filenames are case-sensitive on linux. [17:11] if i do this though, will it always use the kernel i select in this menu ? [17:11] Dug__, no [17:11] so i woul dhave to remove the newer one if sound works with the old one [17:11] i dont have it [17:11] I found out the jed command meself, I just had to install it [17:11] left side there is channel name [17:11] Dug__, not really, just see what happens [17:11] yes, that's the exact case sensitive name I shortened it to [17:11] ok, ill be back in and let you know how it goes :) thanks [17:11] ill brb [17:12] i can only copy text from thinlinc to ubuntu, not the other way. What is the cause of that? [17:12] Falcz, Have you tried using the safe graphics mode when booting from the CD [17:12] #ubuntu-it [17:12] WinstonSmith: Yep [17:13] how i can change the veiw in here [17:13] have problems to integrate surround in alsa === xxx is now known as Guest76114 [17:13] which tool do you use wele? [17:13] i can only copy text from thinlinc to ubuntu, not the other way. What is the cause of that? [17:13] #ubuntu-it-chat [17:13] xchat [17:13] Doing a "ls .bash*" gives me 5 files all relating to bash. Opening a file manager and un-hiding hidden directories then looking in ~... there is nothing bash related that shows up as a dot file. What's going on? [17:14] wele: if you are using xchat, the nick list is to the right but you have to expand it, it is hidden by default [17:14] take that back.. files are there.. [17:14] \0 [17:15] am new in ubuntu [17:15] anyone know of any approximate SAFARI engine browsers for ubuntu??? [17:15] and i down load xchat from terminal [17:15] duffydack.... [17:15] your a genius! [17:15] delinquentme: google-chrome? [17:16] i have sound again :P [17:16] why would a partition owned by user-a change owner to root, after mounting a partition over it, even if in fstab i have options users,owner ? [17:16] Dug_, hmm ok... [17:16] does somebody has knowledge about alsa?? [17:16] Dug_, cat /proc/modules and pastebin it [17:16] ok [17:16] is there any irc program better and easy then xchat [17:16] Dug_, probably just not loading the module.,. [17:16] ChogyDan, i thought so ... but ive got some stuff thats just destroyed in chrome but is beautiful on safari [17:16] hmm [17:17] wele: on the right hand side of you xchat window you will see a vertical border with 3 short horizontal lines in the middle of it, click on it and drag it to the left [17:17] so is there a way round this or i have to delete new kernel and go back to old ? [17:17] wele, yes , it's called knonversation [17:17] here is the pastebin btw http://pastebin.com/9RZrP4W3 [17:17] wele: using empathy is quite easy to use [17:17] wele: there is also pidgin [17:17] sacarlson: My understanding is that eCryptFS won't help in this scenario: My laptop is broken or I don't have it with me and I am travelling. I can access my encrypted documents in Dropbox. If I was using eCryptFS, can I decrypt them? [17:18] also emesene thats m favourite :P [17:18] iRy: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page [17:18] Dug_, I can see right away there are other modules used now....

[17:19] Dug_, reboot into the new kernel [17:19] ubun00b: i know this side but i have a special problem, everytime a song ends alsa kicks out my usb sound device and rythmbox brings up an error and skips to the next song, then alsa loads my usb device but the settings are wrong [17:19] ok so just reboot or do i need to use shift again and select new one ? [17:20] Dug_, just reboot [17:20] ok [17:20] brb then [17:20] wele, in the terminal , sudo apt-get install konversation [17:20] hello [17:20] hello. i have a problem with bind9 on a ubuntu server [17:20] i cannot start it, it says failed [17:20] hello [17:20] does anyone know how to prevent ubuntu from shutting down if its been idle for sometime?

[17:32] these startup drivers work ok, but don't provide 3D or animations in GUI, so it says [17:32] vingian: sorry, I don't know [17:32] Dug_, reboot [17:33] ubun00b: so what says [17:33] ok in terminal "edit /etc/modules" or go to the actual location myself and edit ? [17:33] The ubuntu drivers list that shows "this driver is not activated" and Activate button [17:33] Dug_, gksu gedit /etc/modules [17:33] but it's running anyway [17:33] ok [17:33] ubun00b: it's not [17:33] ubun00b: if it's not active, it's not using the nvidia driver [17:33] when i run pidgin it doesn't active up to i deleted my account and add new account ! what can i do?

[17:35] ikonia: I think he is misunderstanding what that means exactly [17:35] IdleOne: what ? [17:35] it was the Hardware Drivers icon in top upper right bar that I first opened to install drivers when Gnome desktop first loaded from Live USB flash drive. [17:35] k [17:35] ubun00b: are you using a livecd ? [17:36] OK, this a.m. I have totally rebooted and autologged in as live user (default) and will recheck the tool [17:36] ok here you go duffydack http://pastebin.com/5kgRtKF6 [17:36] Dug_, just 1 more thing. ls -al /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/ is there an sis one there?

I don't remember the exact wording [17:36] do what exactly? [17:36] oh :s [17:36] ubun00b: the reason is, to activeate the propriatary drivers, you need to reboot, but the livecd is not stateful, so it won't allow that [17:37] Dug_, is snd-hda-codec-si3054.ko or snd-hda-intel there? [17:37] so since I now love Ubuntu/linux I should proceed with a real install to HDD of Lucid LTS? [17:37] hmm [17:37] ubun00b: yes :) [17:37] will that allow the proprietary nvidia drivers to run & persist? [17:37] yes [17:37] ubun00b: Thats how it normally works.

[17:50] Dug_, right see what it says when you sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel [17:50] ok [17:50] constantin_mike, try reading : http://linux.about.com/od/ubusrv_doc/a/ubusg16t03.htm [17:51] i get a fatal error again :s [17:51] thanks to all. and why did someone reply that the .run shell script downloaded from nvidia "is a binary"? I thought binaries were .bin files. ~n00bly [17:51] Dug_, hmm, and sound works [17:51] no [17:51] did i need to boot up in the old kernel ? with shift ? :s [17:51] Yes... [17:51] oh... crap sorry :/ [17:51] hehe [17:51] ill brb again then lol sorry about this [17:52] I just wanted to know if that error was there in the working kernel as well [17:52] ok [17:52] brb [17:52] if a software i'm installing on lucid is asking for the folder where openoffice is installed(it's gonna headless convert documents on a server basis), what folder should i put in? [17:54] Or is the OpenOffice that ships with lucid not capable of running headless(which my noob thinking interprets as "in the background")? [17:54] is it possible to go from karmic koala 9.10 to remix on a mini HP notebook without losing my data [17:54] mcl0vin: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook [17:55] xangua: will it install it on top of the 9.10 or overide it [17:55] ok im back duffydack in the old kernel with sound working [17:55] what was the command you wanted me to do ? [17:55] Hi, I've just taken over the admin of an oldish server (circa 2004) It has an intel hardware raid controller (PCI addon card) [17:55] Dug_, right see what it says when you sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel [17:56] ok [17:56] how do I use two monitors in console? [17:56] bsr [17:56] i get this [17:56] one of the drives in the raid 5 has failed, and I was wondering if there are any software tools that could talk to the controller, or do I have to reboot all the time to manipulate the raid through the bios console? [17:56] WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/sound, it will be ignored in a future release. [17:56] no fatal error though [17:57] the french ? [17:57] mcl0vin it will install on top [17:58] so is that good or ? [17:59] Dug_, ok.. it might be possible to copy the good files to the bad kernels files.. a dirty fix but might work. or just stick with the old kernel.. [18:00] hmm i think id like to lay it safe and stick with the older kernel for a while and maybe try update when a newer kernel comes out === becquervera is now known as reisilver [18:00] Dug_, uname -r [18:00] since my laptop is mega cheap and its hard to get certain hardware in here working properlly lol xD [18:00] thats all uname -r and its done ? xD [18:01] how cheap is cheap [18:01] 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook says can't find pkg [18:01] i'm trying to set up postfix, but i messed up and installed sendmail to see how it'd be. Now, even though I removed sendmail, telnet-ing to localhost @ port 25 shows me "ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.3/8.14.3/Debian-9.1ubuntu1;". Can you help me remove the remnants of sendmail? [18:02] what kernal does ubuntu use? [18:02] after uname -r i get "2.6.32-21-generic" so is it done already ? [18:02] hi everyone, I have this: A 9.04 CD and a working 10.04. Is it in any way possible to use these 2 to get a new 10.04 working without downloading anything? [18:02] I mean, without downloading anything on the new box [18:03] Dug_, no.. just wanted to know what kernel version it was [18:03] oh xD [18:03] was gonna say was easy xD [18:03] Hi, I resized my ubuntu partition (10.04, 64b) using GParted live CD (really cool..) - and then installed Windows 7 on that resized partition. This overwrote my boot loader now - and it'll only boot into Windows. How do I go about dual booting it [18:03] ryanrhee901: how exactly did you remove sendmail? [18:03] Dug_, thats the kernel at lucids release.. hmm.. [18:03] is that a problem ? :s [18:04] how do i make an alias so that rm is replaced with rm -i ? [18:04] is there like emerald theme pack? When I install emerald on other distro/OS (Gentoo, FreeBSD), emerald is by default installed with a dozen of themes.

Searching that path I find /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig link to executable, but cont the specified tar [18:04] get. Any suggestions?

[18:05] please help my blueZ deamon is not starting so unable to run blueman [18:05] !clone | Migi32 [18:05] Migi32: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [18:05] ubun00b: are you running from a proper install now ? [18:05] Dug_, just sayin. when did you install ubuntu [18:05] erm cant quite remember think it was like begining of this month [18:05] or atleast 2 weeks ago [18:06] ubun00b: try reinstalling nvidia-settings, It looks like it's not installed. [18:06] no, the live usb but it seems to have persisted the drivers install from earlier after rebooting. [18:06] but i havent used this laptop that much since installing ubuntu tbh [18:07] yes, it's not, but all I did was the recommended hardware drivers tool activation then reboot, how would i reinstall the nvidia-settings child process? [18:07] hi [18:07] IdleOne, sorry I'd like to export the full packages, not just a list of their names [18:07] anyone can help me with a display issue ? [18:07] ubun00b: I'm not on Ubuntu now, but I belive apt-get install nvidia-settings would do it. [18:07] does anybody know how to promote an idea to 'Ideas in development' in ideatorrent? [18:07] Dug_, just wondering if reinstalling that newer kernel might fix it.. [18:08] Migi32: doing it that way you would also have to export the package dependencies...lots of packages but see !aptoncd [18:08] hmm [18:08] !aptoncd [18:08] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [18:08] i have activated the nvidia-current drivers , and it seems that vertical sync isnt enabled anymore [18:08] since nvidia sez it's an X Server is there a simple way to stop/restart that nvidia X Server settings?

[18:10] yes, trying 1st run Settings GUI after tool installed the correct tested proprietary nVidia drivers [18:10] from clicking menu item: System/Administration/Nvidia X Server Settings [18:11] ubun00b: Ok once you install nvidia proprietary drivers, run sudo nvidia-xconfig, that will create new xorg.conf and backup old one. Restart X (log out, or reboot) and then try. [18:11] Dug_, just stick with the working kernel [18:12] ok i will [18:12] ubun00b: make sure you have nvidia-settings install before you try to run it. [18:12] how do i remove the new one so that i always boot on the older one instead of having to shift on bootup ? [18:12] Dug_, run synaptic [18:12] is there like emerald theme pack? When I install emerald on other distro/OS (Gentoo, FreeBSD), emerald is by default installed with a dozen of themes. [18:12] ok [18:13] synaptic is open now [18:13] Excuse me, I need to reset my audio configuration; how do you do that? [18:13] Dug_, click search type 2.6.32-24 [18:13] Dug_, the 3 files marked green (installed) just right click them and remove [18:14] ok then i should be always running of the old kernel once they are removed ? [18:14] Dug_, just reboot and press shift, should be only one there. [18:14] ok :) [18:14] hey all, is there any way I could secure a Windows formatted drive with Ubuntu [18:14] i have a quick question about the "shift" on boot thoug if you dont mind ? [18:14] Dug_, have you not updated the kernel before now? [18:15] apparently not :s [18:15] i dont read the updates when i do them lol [18:15] Dug_, so there are only 2 to choose from at boot [18:15] if i remove this im guessin gi should have the working kernel showing with another option in safe mode ? [18:15] Dug_, ye [18:16] ok, so am i right in thinking each time there is a kernel update they all display in there so if i update my kernel 4 times it will give me 4 options on shift boot ? [18:16] Dug_, only for newer versions.. [18:17] hmm [18:17] so it iwll show the old and new version it wont store the version before last ? [18:17] so at most it will show 2 at all times ? === Nwab is now known as Benwa [18:17] Dug_, it will show any version thats different [18:17] hi i installed sun java 6, but in firefox icedtea is still used, how do i change it?

It's up and running on my Windows 7 install, but I've no idea how to go about installing drivers for it in Ubuntu (10.04) - any ideas? [18:30] hamidreza: could the card be faulty? [18:30] Folks, every install event I've done in past 24 hours on this fresh 1st ever Lucid LTS system has apparently succeeded with programs runable and drivers installed, yet every install ended with the standard installation failed box, and all scripts end up reporting "... returned an error code (1)". That seems contradictory, why is Ubuntu reporting "failed" installations, when they have all apparently succeeded (dozens of them)? [18:30] duffydack ? [18:30] it worked :) [18:30] ^5 [18:31] bbl.

[18:41] bars0: eh heh ... the desktop edition is designed to not boot into text mode. personally I would install the server edition and convert it to a specialized desktop setup.

[18:41] PigeonCluster: Ah. :) [18:42] imanc: /media [18:42] tuxifier: thanks! [18:42] guest1: the usual pattern is: you give us all the data you can, and then we try to answer your question. [18:42] PigeonCluster: He seems to be the only active poster on this bug aside from me, and I wanted to discuss the behavior of my computer. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/382806 [18:42] imanc: but it doesn't automount [18:42] by connecting to it [18:43] ah. try messaging him on the bug system, eh, Strife89? [18:43] o [18:43] sorry wrong channel [18:43] imanc: but u should see it in your gnome file manager [18:43] PigeonCluster: .... I completely forgot the bug tracker had a PM system. >.< [18:43] xoveruk, u can use rythmbox for that [18:44] sorry here again my failure: started ./configure normally and this failure came up http://paste.ubuntu.com/484065/. i don't have a idea what to do. [18:44] Then again, it's related to the bug, so perhaps I should just write a long-ish comment. [18:44] tuxifier: so the media dir is there, but the C: drive needs mounting manually? [18:44] imanc: yepp [18:45] My bad 1st time here. Here it goes fresh install of Ubuntu server 10.4, like wise open and then samba last just like the docs say to do. Install of server ans like wise went well. I can ssh to the server with doman account. I can also log in w/ domain account 2 console. its the dang samba thats getting me. I can not browse the file server from a win machine. [18:45] I can't find an autopsy channel and autopsy GUI won't load. [18:45] what is the ubuntu equivalent of winamp? [18:45] so, anyone with experience with AUFS copy-on-write or such? [18:45] imanc: and you need ntfs support installed (ntfs-3g) [18:45] is there an equivalent mv syntax to do this: ren /really/long/directory/file.ext newfilename.ext [18:45] imanc: there are many music players, but xmms is the closest [18:46] mv puts it in the current directory [18:46] guest1: which docs were you following? [18:46] On fresh install, what was program .../vmlinuz and where did it go? Why did it poof when some install scripts still look for it? [18:46] Ah, yes, I was wondering about that .... I recently installed Ubuntu in a dual boot setup and wish to automount my NTFS partition on startup (currently it must be mounted manually). [18:46] iRy: looks like you need libncurses5-dev [18:46] Excuse me, I need to reset my audio configuration; how do you do that? [18:46] sipior the docs directly from the ubuntu server 10.4 docs [18:46] normaly type sudo get-apt libncurses5-dev? [18:47] !who | Strife89 [18:47] Strife89: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:47] Samba as domain member [18:47] iRy: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev; yes === zach__ is now known as sticky [18:47] PigeonCluster: Anyone, in the case of that last sentence. [18:47] trism: ok will try [18:47] Strife89: but I can't tell what you were responding to. [18:48] PigeonCluster: tuxifier: so the media dir is there, but the C: drive needs mounting manually? [18:48] RobertV: mv /really/long/directory/{oldname,newname} (that's bash doing the work, of course, not mv proper) [18:48] PigeonCluster: That line made me think about it. [18:48] ahhh. I can answer that. [18:49] add the partition to /etc/fstab - you'll have to be root - and make sure to have an empty directory to mount it on.

[18:50] Works for me, then. :) [18:50] Sipior nope [18:51] Sipior I can see the box but when i try to browse i get prompted for credentials [18:51] guest1: and which credentials do you attempt to use? [18:52] PigeonCluster: Should I use the UUID instead of the /dev/x path? If so, how do I retrieve it?

[19:18] sipior i guess its partially due to staying here asking my question for 15-20 min ? [19:18] strashniq: ok I see it now. You could have a script use xrandr to set the res after logon.

[19:20] anyone know what the issue might be or how I could fix this? [19:20] Joker__: ok it has a driver. If you run: sudo iwlist scan ,do you see access points? [19:20] !pae | Migi32 [19:20] Migi32: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [19:21] Migi32: probably his mistake. last I checked, my ubuntu 32bit non-pae can see 4G of ram on my 8Gig machines [19:21] Migi32: it will only see 3.4Gb under 32bit. I just round off [19:21] Wild: run it from terminal and paste output to paste.ubuntu.com [19:21] greetings! [19:21] ok thanks.

[19:22] Migi32: but I agree. 64bit is fine as long as the support you need extends into 64bit [19:23] amokpaule: run: dmesg | less ,and read the boot messages. It may give clues [19:23] wild : install the older version [19:23] ActionParsnip: you cant do it from gconf, have to use a script like http://www.ivy.fr/blog/index.php/2008/05/08/85-from-macos-to-ubuntu-show-hide-desktop-icons-on-gnome [19:23] the last one crashes [19:24] well, I think saying 64-bit is "not recommended" => most people use 32-bit => applications are developed/tested mainly for 32-bit => 64-bit is "not recommended". [19:24] we need to break out of that [19:24] but anyway I gtg [19:24] bye [19:24] gtg cya all :D [19:24] where do i can get free projects??

BUT, when the interface comes up, dhclient issues a DHCPREQUEST 192.168.1.101, and the router complies. I expected dhclient to send a DISCOVER, because otherwise it won't get the assigned address until I type 'dhclient -r wlan0; dhclient wlan0' to force it.

One issue I think I may have however is that in our network there is alread [20:11] y a DHCP server running on our Small Business Server 2003 (Broadcasting a Class B ip, 172.16.17.XXX).

Install works, but get errors that end install. === geo is now known as geo05 [21:10] littlepenguin: the & pertains to the 'app1' command, telling the shell to run it in "background mode" [21:10] littlepenguin: app1 && app2 means "run app1, then if it exits successfully run app2". Very different. [21:12] thanks arielCo [21:12] have confused some things.. [21:13] littlepenguin: go read http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [21:14] very nice..but this will take some days to get clearly through ;D have saved it.. [21:14] Hi everyone.

[21:17] libihero: what variable are you having trouble with? [21:17] !md5sum | tynot [21:17] tynot: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [21:17] i'm trying to make it so the dropdown menu color is black [21:18] i was able to edit the color [21:18] but now the panel text is black [21:18] yeah, the install runs fine. looks like everything's goin' groovy and then then message at the end. yeah, guess we should MD5? [21:18] the dropdown menu bg color black, sorry [21:18] tynot, yes [21:19] tynot, what message is it [21:19] hold on lemme type out everything [21:19] libihero: random speculation here, but thats the beauty of gtkrc's you can edit save and reload, and keep trying- changing #colors and experimenting, all in all this is the very basics of hacking and modding [21:19] Hey there, me again. Wanted to ask a different question as well [21:19] This laptop is an Acer Aspire 5810TZ [21:19] I want to make the background color for the dropdown menu's light while their text stay black. the theme i'm using, impression, has the menu as black and the text as white. i was able to edit the theme and make the menu how i wanted it. however, i cant edit the dropdown menu text color without editing the panel text color [21:20] The DVD drive on it is a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-U633A, and I can't get it to work [21:20] paca-vaca: maybe your apt package is damaged. Get it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/apt and install it with 'sudo dpkg -I apt*.deb' [21:20] i want to make the panel text color white, while making the dropdown menu from the panel text black [21:20] Aimee, define 'get it to work' [21:20] libihero: to keep conisistencies some gtk libraries do that [21:20] duffydack: In other words, I insert the DVD, it does not come up on screen [21:20] I've tried mounting manually [21:21] duffydack, "a component of the installation failed," or something along those lines. then, when I tried to setup users and passwords, that failed as well. sound like MD5? [21:21] the only way i've gotten anything to show up is to boot up with the dvd in the drive already [21:21] @aeon-ltd is there a way to work around it? [21:21] Aimee, ah.. ive heard of that workaround before... hangon... [21:21] duffydack: And even then it doesn't work [21:21] tynot, not sure. md5 check it anyway [21:21] :p [21:21] Actually, if you'll hold on for a moment [21:22] brb [21:22] sirje: did you check your current resolution? It should match the LCD's native (physical) one [21:22] I have a blue tooth dongle that was working last night but now when I go to use it it says there is no bluethooth device recognized any help please [21:22] tynot, and also the files burned to disc.

[21:24] can anyone help me with blue tooth adapter not working? It was working just fine yesterday [21:24] I can't even get Debian installations to boot with SATA DVD drives.

[21:25] Arghh /var/log/messages) [21:25] duffydack, one second, i want to try it' [21:25] pieces: try unplugging then replugging then reloading the module(s) [21:26] see, that's what's frustrating as hell. the ubuntu CD at least booted and ran the install, while Debian just laughed at me. [21:26] Aimee, run the command, then insert disc. [21:26] aeon-ltd how do I reload the modules? [21:26] arielCo: no dithering. text on black or white background looks almost fine. pictures are not. [21:26] tynot, well if it runs, something is maybe wrong with the burn or the iso [21:26] pieces: sudo modprobe (name of module) [21:27] duffydack, that produces a no such file/directory error [21:27] Aimee, tailf /var/log/messages ? [21:27] oh [21:27] you said messages0 [21:27] lol] [21:27] Aimee, typo, I corrected later on :) [21:28] lol [21:28] so you did [21:28] i should try another burn and verify it this time? No hope for Debian. I;ve tried several ISO burns to no avail, while I did at least get the SATA DVD to acknowledge the Ubuntu burn. [21:28] Aimee can I ask you a question [21:28] andrew, go ahead [21:28] tynot, verify the iso first [21:28] aeon-ltd I am assuming the module is blooth, that did not work [21:28] aeon-ltd I tried restarting the computer as well [21:28] have you figured out how to regidter === starcraft is now known as starcraftman [21:28] with MD5?

[21:29] thx, man [21:29] andrew_708476, the command is /NS REGISTER (PASSWORD) (EMAIL) [21:29] aeon-ltd no updated today but it wasn't working before then [21:29] tynot, find the md5 on the ubuntu hashes page and verify it matches what your file gives back after an md5sum [21:29] Or. If you want help, /ns help register [21:29] duffydack, been a pleasure. i'm out. thx. [21:30] arielCo: it shows 24.

Thanks [21:36] duffydack, http://pastebin.ca/1926227 [21:36] arielCo: any chance that graphics card driver is not working properly? how to find it out?

ATI are inheriently worse that NVidia.. for amny reasons.. bt for your case.. i dont think theres an override.. when the card is in fullspeed 2/3D accellerator mode, the refresh rate is software controlled.. when it's not.. it's locked to 60.

One of them makes me the superuser permanently [22:22] BIOS setting? [22:23] <^jude^> so how do I set the runlevel for upstart then? [22:23] All I did was change my resolution in Windows and then restart into Ubuntu [22:23] IdleOne: I help out a ton of ppl in here, and the min I make a comment, I get the book thrown at me, I love it [22:23] gartral: 800x600 [22:23] ^jude^: yu don't. what are you trying to do ?

[22:24] when I hit the Alt key, the application is Maximized --- what can I do to unset this behavior ? [22:24] it says that I have a black listed card how can I unblack list my card [22:24] x or y?

Forgive my ignorance [22:24] anyone know how to get the broadcom wireless working in ubuntu [22:24] is there a way to test our hardware. sometimes my computer need to work a while without the graphic card [22:24] ^jude^: you have to disable gdm. edit /etc/init/gdm.conf file comment out from start on to stop on lines [22:24] sabayonuser: did you check out System -> Admin -> Hardware drivers yet?

[22:41] katoen: Adobe Reader [22:42] gartral: then what? [22:42] Nerdy3_14159265: to execute a file it needs that, or execute the shell instead: sh file.bin works without chmod-ing [22:42] gartral: you use unetbootin.. install the iso too the pendrive, then install from ram back too that pendrive making sure the MBR is written too it as well [22:42] why couldn't they just make ubuntu do that automatically? [22:43] lets try something else then, how would one modify xorg.conf (or whatever) in 10.14? [22:43] gartral: hm. [22:43] Nerdy3_14159265: executing things automatically is what makes windows a virus festival [22:43] okay thanks, I'll look it up. [22:43] I don't mean execute the file but make it so that you can execute the file [22:43] monochromatic: what you just did was replace someone's bootloader and took the installed os with you :P [22:44] duffydack: any thoughts [22:44] gartral: it is an empty drive [22:44] gartral: and it's my mac, so no damage done [22:44] OerHeks: so, since I don't want to keep logs to debug, I just have to disable "console output" (the 1st step only)?

[22:49] marmalade: yes [22:49] oh okay [22:49] Nerdy3_14159265: if you prefer a gui package manager [22:49] Nerdy3_14159265: from the GUI: applications -> ubuntu software center [22:50] Nerdy3_14159265: or from the command line: aptitude or apt-get [22:50] i see it in the hardware drivers.. but when i go to activate it it fails [22:50] scary Q. How do I REMOVE an Ubuntu install from my laptop without killing the other OS installed? [22:50] katoen: I got it open, then I can just search for adobe reader and the such? [22:50] sabayonuser, can you hook up a cable for internet access at all? [22:51] i guess i could bring the laptop over here .. [22:51] sabayonuser, what version of ubuntu are you using. [22:51] why does gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf present me with a blank document in 10.14 [22:51] 10.4 [22:51] whatever [22:51] how can i change the way remix shows the menu with icon on the workspace please [22:51] FlawITS: becouse Xorg does not need it anymore in recent versions [22:51] FlawITS: if one is present is obeyed [22:52] sabayonuser, cd or usb [22:52] OerHeks: this bug should be fixed, though, right? [22:52] what would connecting an ethernet cable do.. [22:52] live cd [22:52] Nerdy3_14159265: you can give it a try. you might need to add a source from adobe to the package manager, so that it knows where to downlaod your reader, when updates are available etc. === mikebeecham-2 is now known as mikebeecham [22:52] please help: i just installed 10.04 and i get a blinking cursor that will not go away on boot [22:52] katoen: How do I go about adding adobe? [22:52] katoen: As a source [22:52] sabayonuser, System/Admin- Software sources [22:53] sabayonuser, "other software" and add cdrom [22:53] erUSER: whats the correct why to configure x then? [22:53] !adobe | Nerdy3_14159265 [22:53] Nerdy3_14159265: System -> Administration -> Software sources [22:53] !adobe? [22:53] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:53] ok.. trying [22:53] Nerdy3_14159265: sorry, wrong command [22:54] Nerdy3_14159265: then Other Software tab, then enable the partner source, i think [22:54] Nerdy3_14159265: then let it reload the sources and search again for adobe === marmalade is now known as macrocat [22:55] guys, to apply this patch, do i extract the bzip2 sources and run this command in the sources root directory? patch -p1 < bzip2-1.0.5-install_docs-1.patch [22:55] duffydack: i did that nothing showed up in the list [22:55] where do i find the gnome do banshee plugin? i've searched all of the sites for the launchpad but i cannont seem to find the actual download link [22:55] sabayonuser, what about sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [22:56] katoen: I don't get what source to enable, do I need to add adobe to the list? [22:56] ok.. under ubuntu software tab the cd is showing up [22:56] someone said my name [22:56] whatever [22:57] Nerdy3_14159265: well i just checked myself if i can install adobe reader, and its there. I did not add any adobe source, so it must be part of the sources you can enable in that menu [22:57] duffydack, if you want drivers for b43 wireless just install kernel >= 2.6.33 [22:58] katoen: I searched for adobe in the software and I could install it but it didn't say it was from adobe [22:58] Nerdy3_14159265, ubuntu already has pdf viewer installed, it shows pdf`s.. [22:58] katoen: yea, and the flash plugin is there too without muckin with the sources [22:58] katoen: acroread is in medibuntu; probably you added it for codecs/dvd [22:58] sometux, I`m not the one with the problem. And I have my driver installed in lucid with 2.6.32 fine. [22:59] hi guys, anyone know if the ubuntu live cd comes with an ftp client?

[23:01] Azjo: well use the tab key to auto complete use the correct case [23:01] so it's part of the partner source as i thought it was [23:01] forgot / before boot sorry [23:01] Azh, Try gFTP and note the case... [23:01] duffydack: ok.. this time the green light came on and showed that the driver is active but i still have the ! on the wireless indicator [23:01] Azh: then install whatever ftp client you like. filezilla for instance [23:01] duffydack: It won't let me install flash [23:02] menu.lst does not seem to exist [23:02] !grub2 | Azh [23:02] Azh: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.

[23:08] all i know is that it came with ubuntu and there is no information for the newb in gui [23:08] Azjo: "grub-install -v" in terminal [23:08] -v means? [23:08] Azjo: version [23:08] Azjo: tell us what it says [23:08] 1.98 [23:09] Azjo: thats grub2 [23:09] now run update-grub and see if it mentions windows [23:09] so how do i access menu.lst ? [23:09] duffydack: when i did sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter b43-fwcutter is already the latest version [23:09] I got a problem. [23:09] Azjo: "update-grub" [23:09] i tried vi menu.lst but it says it is new file [23:09] Azjo: there isnt one [23:10] sabayonuser, is wifi enabled, I guess it is [23:10] Azjo: if you are using grub2 ( since 9.10) you do not have that file anymore [23:10] Azjo: gryb2 doesnt use a menu.lst [23:10] when i modify /etc/[anyfile] it says No protocol specified [23:10] how do i know that [23:10] so uhh anyone know where the bluetooth daemon log is? [23:10] I burned the ISO to a cd, yet whenever I try to install it it is stuck at the loadign screen. [23:10] What am I doing wrong? [23:10] i don't see the light on laptop is lit [23:11] I have to add add xuser:SI:..

[23:11] hi folks, amd64 fails to wake up..... hardware issue? or a known s/w issue? suggestions? [23:11] and nothing on sda so i dont get grub there either [23:12] do i just delete sda and sdb ? [23:12] Azjo, I am not up on all of grub2 settings however you might want to try the #grub channel :) [23:12] you cant [23:12] !grub2 > Azjo [23:12] Azjo, please see my private message [23:12] no .. the wireless indicator on the panel has an "!" [23:12] Azjo, however that looks pretty normal to me [23:13] when i connect the ethernet it connects immediately [23:13] coz_ also if u do not want grub to boot up when booting from sda? [23:13] i tried playing with the wireless button.. nothing [23:13] sabayonuser, sudo modprobe b43 [23:13] different card [23:14] Azjo, as I said I would check with the #grub people they are by far more knowlegeable than I am on this [23:14] alright ill give it a shot [23:14] Azjo: what are you tring to do. you want normal windows bootloader on sda and sdb, but grub bootloader on sdc? [23:14] thune3: yes [23:15] duffydack: is that supposed to do anything.. i just got the prompt back.. is that suppose to light my indicator? === carlos is now known as Guest61722 [23:15] i dont want grub to interfere with my windows OS's [23:15] when i pick sdc manually to boot, it will not boot [23:15] Azjo: then you need to install the grub bootloader on sdc (not sda). You can pick sdc from bios? [23:15] yes i can [23:15] sabayonuser, try network manager now [23:15] so it is installed on sda?? where? i cannnot see any files [23:16] duffydack: "no network connection" [23:16] Azjo: it is on whatever one you currently boot from? [23:16] still has the "!" [23:16] that is sda, and i see NO files. [23:16] Azjo: i believe you installed the grub on sda, where it seeks out the grub config files on sdc to boot. [23:16] so what folder should it be in, on sda? [23:16] which is ntfs [23:16] Azjo: is there a /boot/grub folder? [23:17] no and thats not possible because its on ntfs, windows 7? [23:17] Is it worth upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 [23:17] on lsmod i see one of the entry "cfg80211...126485...2...b43,mac80211 [23:17] well then you aren't booting from sda [23:17] Azjo well then you aren't booting from sda [23:17] well i cannot boot when i manually pick sdc. and i do get grub loader when i pick sda. [23:17] Azjo: if i'm understanding correctly, it's on the boot sector (mbr) of sda [23:18] ..u mean MFT i assume? [23:18] no [23:18] mbr [23:18] master boot record [23:18] i really hope it doesnt kill my w7. [23:18] so how do i uninstall from sda and install it on sdc? [23:18] in lucid how would one use xrandr to change refresh rate? [23:19] anyone around that can help me with the bluetooth daemon? [23:19] Azjo: ask in #grub [23:19] sabayonuser, personally, Ive installed the STA driver, logged out/in and installed it over wifi with ssh -X before. So I dont know whats wrong there. [23:19] duffydack: with the lspci -nvv i see one entry "Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge [23:19] alright ill try [23:20] learstar [23:20] Azjo: i could to what I can in pm if you wish [23:20] can I teach apt to see debian squeeze or sid packages? [23:21] cfedde: no [23:21] duffydack: you say i should get the option of the STA in "Hardware Drivers"? [23:21] Can somebody help me?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:21] sabayonuser, what broadcom is it [23:21] cfedde: Mixing repositories from different distributions is likely to cause horrible breakage, and isn't supported here. [23:21] Akihiko: if you ask for it maybe [23:21] erUSUL: Hi, I am facing troubles with the multiple hostnames on my machine [23:22] njain: multiple hostnames ? [23:22] erUSUL: when I login to my machin [23:22] BCM4306 [23:22] erUSUL: and it is disconnected [23:22] learstar has joined #ubuntu [23:22] 802.11b/g [23:22] erUSUL: the hostname is localhost, all apps work fine [23:22] cfedde: there might be an "ubuntu way" of doing what you are trying to ultimately do. You could give us the original problem. [23:22] Well, I burnt Ubuntu to a CD, and I get to the selection screen. After selecting a language, I select "Install Ubuntu". But here's the problem: It stays at the loading screen. I've waited three hours so far. [23:23] so, since i am waiting for them to help me. can you tell me how i force a resolution in ubuntu? it can max do 1024 but i want 1600 [23:23] erUSUL: apps like rhythmbox, xserver [23:23] sabayonuser, no, its not for 4306 chipset [23:23] !resolution | Azjo [23:23] Azjo: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [23:23] erUSUL: but when I am connected [23:23] hello [23:23] duffydack: you mean the STA? [23:23] sabayonuser, I dont know then. Until the OS is installed properly, I`m lost [23:23] Is there any big advantage upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 [23:24] sabayonuser, yes [23:24] i need some help with a broadcom card [23:24] it installs the driver [23:24] erUSUL: the hostname changes to user-laptop [23:24] ifconfig sees the card [23:24] learstar, i have stayed with 9.10 myself but personal prefs i guess [23:24] Ntemis: I _highly_ suggest swapping out the Broadcom card to something like an Intel nic [23:24] but i cannot connect to wifi [23:24] when i did an lsmod in opensuse the same entries showed up and it was working fine there.. [23:24] erUSUL: and then, No protocol specified error comes [23:24] network manager dont have the wifi loaded [23:25] why? [23:25] it installed fineand activated [23:25] thune3: the sysetm I'm running is an 8.04 LTS could I get packages from 10.04. I suspect it would be better to upgrade. [23:25] the reason why i'm trying to get it done is some other ubuntu based distros have the same issue [23:25] enable networking [23:25] but doesnt work [23:25] seekwill, nothing wrong with my broadcom.. had one since 8.04 [23:25] thanks hiexpo, learstar [23:25] njain: set a hostname for the machine? instead of leaving it to some automatic thing. [23:25] how i enable networking? [23:25] erUSUL: can you help? [23:25] !hostname | njain [23:25] njain: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts .

[23:26] cfedde, given both are LTS releases, you can do a direct update from 8.04 to 10.04 [23:26] seekwill, 'they' must be other people then. [23:26] njain: see the ubottu message [23:26] erUSUL:yeah [23:26] Daekdroom: interesting [23:26] hi all [23:26] erUSUL: saw [23:26] what i must type in terminal to enable wifi? [23:26] drivers are installed [23:26] but wifi not up [23:27] I admit, for me, the b43 driver is complete and utter pants. The STA driver is perfect. [23:27] cfedde: downloading and installing packages from 10.04 could get into dependency issues very quickly. is there a specific package? [23:27] Ntemis: sudo ifconfig wlna0 up [23:27] duffydack: Yep. Under pretty consistent load, they tend to just stop accepting new connections. Has occurred at a number of our clients' servers [23:27] learstar had quit [23:27] duffydack: is the light not coming on dependant on the driver? [23:27] Ntemis: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [23:27] sabayonuser, what other ubuntu based distros you having problems with it < backtrack [23:27] Daekdroom: given that the system is a VM it might even be easier. [23:27] thune3: specificly apache2 [23:27] ok is up [23:27] seekwill, I use usenet, 10mb/s for a few hours at a time. no problems here. [23:27] still nothing [23:27] erUSUL: some other idea? [23:27] duffydack: oh, hehe Ok :D [23:27] erUSUL: or suggestion? [23:27] seekwill, if thats not under load...what is :) [23:28] duffydack: An Intel 1000bt nic... is like $30 [23:28] ifconfig wlan0 [23:28] njain: no; sorry. if you are using network manager see if it has an option to not change your hostname [23:28] hello, i installed ubuntu 10.04 on my new netbook, a Packard Bell dot s2, the trackpad is just crazy and there is no wireless connection available, how can i fix it?

[23:28] erUSUL: are you sure this a hostname issue only [23:29] they all will with broamcom [23:29] erUSUL: i think this hostname thingy is the effec of some other cause [23:29] joejoebob, id check to make sure its not a backup partition [23:29] i tried the UltimateEdition too [23:29] erUSUL: something like which sets the local user right [23:29] njain: no; but you say that problem only exist when hostname changes. and you have not give any other info. what programs error out? what are the exact error messages ?

[23:32] yay i did, god I love it when something works on ubuntu [23:32] sabayonuser, backup your current distro.. then just flatten it or dual boot.. do it properly.
